Review:
Part of a larger suite of four commissioned handbell duets, "Joy" (subtitled Acceptance of Love) is the third piece in the suite. The tempo is marked 'With Great Joy! quarter note = 112'. Much use is made of mallets on tabled bells and the antiphonal effect. The melody is bouncy and light. This is not a beginning duet piece.
