Review:
This original work is filled with opportunity for expression, with lovely melodies, counter-melodies, and enough techniques to keep every ringer on their toes. The intro begins with singing bell and single melody line rung by handchimes, followed by lyrical bass accompaniment as the chimes introduce the main melody. Bass ringers will be thoroughly engaged ringing flowing LV passages and echoes. Suddenly, malleted rhythms begin in the bass with a mix of TD and marts in the lower treble bells. A slower, introspective section features chime accompaniment and a simple new melody rung in the upper bells. The main melody returns featuring a contra-motion counter-melody while high bells TD alternating with Ring – and more – as it moves with great energy to the exciting end. This is a perfect piece for worship or a concert!
