Review:
Once in a while a truly stunning handbell work emerges into the handbell repertoire for the world to admire and for ringers to take pleasure in. "Psalm 150" is one of those pieces. The music begins with a zippy and enthusiastic syncopation that rips forward through several meters and rhythms. While challenging, the repeated nature of the music allows for quick and accessible understanding and execution. "Psalm 150" offers flexible performance options. It can be played with all handbells; or handbells and handchimes. Additionally, a C instrument can be employed to play the handchime part. Music for the C instrument is included in the edition. This piece is ideal for worship, celebrations, and concerts. Set in g minor, it is 98 measures.
