An Odyssey of Peace

This original piece was inspired by Revelation 4:1-11 and beautifully reflects that scripture. The passages may be read as part of the performance or simply used as interpretive insight. The bell score may be performed alone, but the addition of percussion enhances the dynamic of the piece. Handchimes (3-4 octaves) and alternate bells (D5-E6) add texture and emphasize the countermelody. Percussion 1 part: mark tree, suspended cymbal, wind chimes, tam tam (gong), snare, tambourine, ratchet, triangle. Percussion 2 part: orchestra chimes, triangle, glockenspiel. Percussion 3 part: timpani only.
