Review:
The unmistakable Scottish flavor of this handbell arrangement with additional percussion is a real attention-grabber. This piece alternates between high, middle, and low bell registers, keeping all ringers equally busy, resulting in a wonderful resonance in either the 2 or 3 octave setting. Rhythms include dotted quarter-eighth combinations and even-eighth scalar patterns at a moderate tempo. Percussion for bodhran, drum, or tambor adds delightful color. Scored in f minor, this piece is 39 measures.
