Review:
From a simple, heartfelt beginning, this piece explodes in a flurry of activity and joy. Liberal syncopations, mixed meters, and unexpected harmonies will keep ringers and listeners alike on their toes. The middle section makes extensive use of stopped sounds before giving way to a final rung verse. For any group looking for a worthy technical challenge, look no further! 79 measures. Keys of Ab Major and F Major.
