Review:
Written for 17 or 22 bells, this quiet favorite from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" features even and dotted notes, with much repetition to enforce the rhythmic accuracy. The melody is in the high bells with some chordal and linear voice accompaniment. Emphasis should be placed on perfecting the subtle dynamic crescendos and decrescendos. 36 measures in all, this arrangement is scored in G Major.
