Review:
This original composition for handbells or handchimes traces the path of the sun from daybreak to sunset. The introduction is in free style with the selective damping technique. Bird calls employ grace note figures in the first and last sections. Extensive performance and teaching notes are given along with a bio on the composer, Valerie Stephenson. Measures total 94.
