In the Stillness

This beautiful original tune, written in honor of the composer’s brother, is a perfect choice for a moment of quiet introspection. The haunting melody, underscored by lush harmonies, gives a feeling of calm and depth with a subtle hint of motion. A more chromatic, harmonically diverse section provides a nice aural diversion midway through before the piece returns to the feeling of the opening. Playable by either handbell or handchime ensembles, this is a fantastic choice for the group looking to work on its musicality.
