This tone poem begins with the mournful tolling of bells reflecting our painful experience when handbells could not ring during the pandemic. Sheer joy that we can ring together again breaks through with the sound of flowing bells, at times rhythmically driven with malleted bass octaves. The two versions are compatible for massed ringing or multiple choirs. Winner of the 2021-2022 Handbell Musicians of America Area 3 Adult Handbell Festival Composition Contest.
