Review:
Each of the three pieces in this suite for four ringers, scored for D5-D6, will stand alone or can be played as a group. Eighth notes put FANFARE at Level 2; the composer prefers the timbre of bells for this short, festive selection. ODE, a Level 1 composition in 3/4 meter, is nice on chimes or bells. An original melody without words, HYMN is also a level 1; choose chimes or bells depending on the mood desired. There are no bell changes and no page turns within a single piece. All three are written in G Major.
