Review:
With mysterious, open, whole-note chords and parallel harmonies in f minor, the introduction of this arrangement of the hymn tune JEFFERSON can lull the listener into a sense of calm and quiet but buckle your seat belts because the exact opposite is true!
The excitement begins at measure 18 with a dynamic marking of forte and an accelerando using the Echo Ring technique. The new, faster tempo includes some malleted bells on the table and more Echo Rings. The high-energy, driving pulse carries through to the end but then surprises the listener by ending in a whisper. For 3, 4, 5, or 6 octaves of handbells.
