Review:
Filled with energy, this original composition will keep ringers busy and engaged. The upbeat opening section utilizes syncopation, malleting, and martellatos. A slower, contrasting middle section employs handchimes and lyrical melodic material. The piece concludes with a return of the opening tempo and themes with additional techniques including mallet clicks. Bell changes figure highly into this piece. Set in C Major and Ab Major, this composition is 110 measures.
