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.
