Review:
If you are looking for a meaty composition for a concert setting, then this original work from Kevin McChesney is for you! Set in 3/4 time in the key of A Flat Major, this piece takes a simple theme through varying textural treatments - chordal, syncopated, rhythmic - and features various special effects, focusing on mallets on tabled bells. Written in Ab Major, "Anthem" is 175 measures.
