Review:
Ostinato: An accompaniment figure that is repeated at length. Two bell trees, 3-octaves of chimes (NOT OPTIONAL!), and 3 to 5-octaves of handbells are scored in a sort of "musical lasagna" with layers of ostinato patterns that come and go or evolve into new patterns. Truly a unique and interesting "sound" piece. Forty-seven measures with some repeated passages.
