Review:
An original piece for the advanced handbell ensemble, "La Tempestad" is a rhythmic tour de force that evokes both Latin dance and a violent storm. It is inspired by the sounds of Latin dance music, but defies any regular form by employing a constantly shifting meter. The name of the piece alludes to the storm-like quality suggested by rapid accented notes in a minor mode. The use of martellato, mallets, hand claps, and optional claves add excitement and energy.
