Ring Out the Good News
Written for 2 octave handbell choir, this piece uses swings, gyros and martellato to create a feeling of excitement. While there is no specific tempo indicated by the composer, allowing directors the freedom to use the tempo best suited for their choir, the piece should be played with joy. The beginning, written with two flats, is very modal in sound but the key change at measure 33 sets the ending of the piece in a solid F Major.
