Review:
A delicate, haunting opening melody line belies the frantic motion coming later in the piece. With frequent shifts in tempo, rhythm, and mood, this work is not for the faint of heart, but for those ensembles that do attempt it, a wild and wonderful musical ride awaits. The middle sections offer an option for handchimes to be featured. 117 measures in length, it is written in c minor.
