Review:
Written in the style of a toccata, this arrangement features long, sustained melodic notes over a busy accompaniment. After a brief chordal section the piece concludes with a joyous pealing of the bells. While it can be played by beginning groups, more advanced ringers can be challenged by using a faster tempo. If desired, another instrument could also double the melody. Compatible editions for 2-3 and 3-5 octaves make this a great choice for festivals and other massed ringing events.
