Review:
This signature arrangement of the
BellTree Duo features a haunting 4-in-hand ostinato underscoring the plaintive melody. G4 to F5 chimes are optional on the second verse, and adding the A7 on the last note makes this a 5 octave piece. The melody begins in the higher registers, then drops 2 octaves to end, staying in the key of a minor throughout. The piece is two pages (all-inclusive) and totals 55 measures.
