Review:
"Celebration on Westminster Abbey" is a splendid interpretation of the hymn tune used for "In His Temple Now Behold Him, Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation," and "Light of Light, O Sole Begotten" among others. This level 2+ piece judiciously uses handchimes, complemented by a meter change. This piece has been selected for use in the 2008 International Handbell Symposium. Written in G Major and C Major, it is 116 measures.
