Review:
Those hearing this lush original piece will be trying to place the lovely folk-like melodies the composer uses throughout. The beauty also comes in the intertwining of bells and chimes in unexpected pairings. Thick textures and changing dynamic contrasts add interest. Accidentals are few; key centers move from G to A; rhythmic challenges are minimal. Musical demands are considerable. This piece is 84 measures.
