Review:
This expertly crafted composition based on an early-American shaped-note hymn tune is a delightful experience for the listener and a joy for ringers to perform. Stopped techniques and a stunning use of mallets keep everyone on their toes. A dynamic work from the pen of one of our most well-received writers, "Variations on 'Middlebury'" is 114 measures and is scored in C Major and c minor.
