Mention George Gershwin to anyone and what's the first thing that comes to mind? Rhapsody in Blue, of course. With its chromaticism and tempo changes, this arrangement demands a more advanced ensemble, but is well worth the effort! This tour de force will remain in your choir's repertoire for years to come. George Gershwin's immortal classic comes to life in this arrangement for 5-6 octaves of bells. This requires a choir that has learned (or is willing to learn) weaving techniques in playing chromatic movement - this work abounds with accidentals. The work is 194 measures in length with several sections and tempo changes. A few special techniques are called for.
