Review:
The most familiar of Gershwin's piano preludes (No. 2 from
THREE PRELUDES) sounds both jazzy and rich on handbells. Ringers will love learning it, and listeners will find it both interesting and beautiful. The middle section gives the melody to the bass ringers, and the use of the optional handchimes provides some unusual color combinations.
