Review:
William enjoys writing and arranging pieces that are in a style that are out of the norm for handbells. He has written in the style of Jazz, Blues, Gospel, 50's Doo-wop, and in other Latin Styles of music, but he wanted to try Bossa Nova. He heard other arrangements of Bossa Nova for handbells, but all of them seem to have a full Rhythm Trio to accompany the arrangement. This one is able to be played with just a handbell ensemble, though the optional percussion parts will enhance the performance. 58 measures.
