Surprise Postlude - REPRODUCIBLE

Matt Johnson - Dolce & Nuit Productions
Publisher Desc.  Only 16 bells required for a truly surprising postlude! , This conceptual musical work uses "hidden" handbells to surprise listeners. Most effective at events when handbells are unexpected. , The concept emerged while driving to church without a definite postlude planned to conclude the service. No handbells were slated to perform that particular Sunday, so no one was expecting to see or hear bells, which made for a delightful surprise. , Implementation: It is suggested that ringers be "planted" throughout the congregation/crowd, making sure to hide the bells. At the end of the service/event, and seemingly spontaneously, one ringer stands and begins slowly pulsing the low C bell. Every two measures, another ringer is "inspired" to add their bell to the growing quartal chord tension. The low C's rhythmic change signals a more pleasing "resolution" chord at the end. , Eight or more ringers may participate. No director is needed to conduct (no visual spoiler). The rhythms and/or pitches may be changed as needed for each performance.
