Review:
Sub-titled "Spirit Vision" this original composition echoes the style of new-age music. A gentle, syncopated melody in 4/4 meter is repeated numerous times in numerous ways. A pulsing, eighth-note rhythm, centered on C's in octaves, permeates the work and creates the energy. An interesting ending gives the options of the ringers humming or ooing the melody accompanied by a pulsing, suspended middle C played struck by a mallet.
