Review:
Will Gross has created a 'funky' piece, true to the style in the title! The introduction tempo notes that it should be rung "With Emotion". Then the fun begins with a Funky Groove tempo, featuring a single line, catchy tune soon supported by a 'funky groove' rhythm – complete with cowbell. Yes ... cowbell! Syncopation, rhythmic inner-voice counter-melodies, and key changes with cool segues all will keep your ringers fully engaged. This is a rare, rhythmic piece that has absolutely NO stopped sounds; it is rung from beginning to end! Bass ringers are sure to enjoy ringing this one – not a mallet to be found. The rests are nearly as important as the notes so clean damping will make this piece shine! Tempo and accidentals make this one a Level 4.
