Festival Overture

Written in 6/8, the lively melody is particularly engaging and the addition of nicely-placed stopped sounds will delight the listener and the ringers. A brief, more introspective and freely-rung section segues back to the original theme for a glorious dance to the ending. Even with some polyrhythms, this piece is accessible to the solid Level 3 group, but with increased tempo will challenge more advanced groups.
