Review:
An energetic original composition, "Capriccio" will be a wonderful addition to your church or concert repertoire. The syncopated rhythms of the opening A section yield to a more lyrical B section in this ABA form composition. The piece uses mallets, thumb damps, martellato and chimes, as well as the added percussive element of rhythmic clicking of mallet sticks. Ringers will have fun as they tackle the challenges of this exciting piece. "Capriccio" begins in C Major and modulates to various keys, including Ab Major, before returning to C Major again. Measures total 117.
