Review:
This original work for handbells paints a serene picture of a winter landscape blanketed in lightly falling snow. The singing bell and lyrical passages evoke the beauty and quietude of the season. Cascading lines mimic the gentle fall of snowflakes capturing the magic of a walk through the woods on a snowy day. Touching on themes of nostalgia, wonder, or the passage of time, this piece is ideal for the winter season or year-round. Optional percussion (cymbal, sleigh bells, and chime tree) adds to the pieces and is notated within the handbell music.
