Antiphonal Sarabande

This composition is excellent for general use during the church year. Terraced dynamics are used to achieve the antiphonal effect. Another possibility is to use 2-octave handbells with 2 octave choirchimes antiphonally. The slow tempo of the work makes it easy for a new choir, with the main challenges being the eighth notes and frequently changing dynamic levels. 48 measures long, this work is scored in a minor.
