Review:
Brian created this lovely original piece based on the word: LOVE. He
assigned musical notes to each letter: L = E; O = D; V = A; E = B.
It begins with bass Singing Bells ringing an ethereal A9(sus4) chord while handchimes ring the musical theme: E - D - A - B (LOVE). That sets the tone and he develops it quite nicely as the melody shifts to the bells with lower chimes in the accompaniment. It is a sweet, peaceful work with interesting developments featuring LV, gentle mallets, a few vib., nicely placed dynamics, and occasional Shakes for a bit of drama. It is such a lovely work and will fit beautifully in any worship or concert setting - without changing the title!
