Ring We Joyfully

Following a brief introduction, the theme rhythmically illustrates the title in a lilting 7/8 meter accompanied by a playful malleted eighth-note bass line. Handchimes (3-5 octaves) take over at a lively pace. A return to handbells brings back the original joyful melody, rhythms, and techniques of the beginning, and the piece ends with a flourish of martellatos. This piece will be a challenging yet entertaining addition to your repertoire.
