Celebration!

A bold and rhythmic original composition, perfect as a grand prelude for worship, concerts, or festivals. Opening with strong chords, a bright melody, and driving energy, the piece immediately evokes a spirit of joy and festivity, pulsing with excitement from the first measure. Scored for Level 3 ensembles, this jubilant work features a wide range of handbell techniques including swings, echoes, martellato, and mart lift. Optional parts for handchimes and Belleplates allow for flexible performance by multiple choirs or mixed-level groups. The piece can be performed by a 3–5 octave handbell choir alone or expanded with an optional 3–5 octave handbell or handchime choir along with an easier 3-octave handchime or Belleplate choir – ideal for beginning ringers.
