Fascinating Rhythm

Gershwin's classic dance song remains a standout example of early 20th-century American jazz and musical theater. The song is known for its syncopated rhythms, energetic tempo, and unique, offbeat phrasing that gives it a distinctive "fascinating" charm. Written for the advanced handbell ensemble, this arrangement includes constant switching between swing and straight rhythms, with grace notes and much chromaticism. Optional parts for bass, drum set, and chime tree are available.
