Review:
This "Andante" is taken from the Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn. The piece begins simply, but soon builds in emotional intensity. The handbell arranger accomplished this through added more bells and increasing the dynamic. Bell changes will need some work as will sixteenth-note rhythms, but all well work the effort of the finished work. 91 measures in length, this arrangement is set in C Major.
