Garden, The
"The Garden", a quiet, original composition for 2 or 3 octaves, has a beautiful melody in the upper bells supported by a rich harmonic accompaniment of quarter notes on chimes. The piece was inspired a new rose garden at a local church; it would be suitable for school or church and could be used during Lent. Even though it can be played with bells or chimes, the use of both tone colors adds to its beauty. The rhythms are Level 1 but bell changes classify it at Level 2. It is 49 measures and is written in Ab Major.
