This engaging, original composition features a light and jaunty theme and constant energy throughout. Written in 4/4 meter, the use of dotted rhythms contributes to the piece's bouncy, joyful quality. Handbell techniques abound with shakes, echoes, martellato, mallets and mallet rolls to keep the ringers challenged, but there are very few required bell changes. A Jubilant Rondo was commissioned by the Greater Dallas Handbell Association for their 2012 spring festivals.
