Review:
Commissioned in honor of Kelley Clegg Neal’s enthusiasm and passion for “all things handbell,” this whimsical original comes together quickly. The thoughtful use of chimes, shakes, mallets, marts, thumb damps, and LVs (plus easy-to-isolate musical lines) makes it a great teaching piece for schools, churches, and festivals! For ensembles that have recently acquired a G2 (and/or a cowbell!), an endearing little bit of performance schtick adds to the fun. Your group will have a great time with this charming composition!
