Review:
The singing bell technique opens this haunting and evocative arrangement of the hymn tune KINGSFOLD. In the first half of the piece, a quiet yet persistent 8th note pattern adds a wonderful counterpoint to the familiar melody. Then at measure 31, the roles are reversed and the counterpoint appears in the upper treble bells with the melody being carried in the bass staff. Finally, at measure 50, both ideas are blended with a simple yet exquisite outcome. For 3, 4, or 5 octaves of handbells and optional 3 octaves of handchimes.
