Bulwarkana |
Guebert, Alex |
|
5-7 |

Review: Alex Guebert’s original work, "Bulwarkana", is published in our Bay View Week of Handbells Series. The title Bulwarkana is a blending of 'bulwark' and 'arcana'. A bulwark is a fortifying wall. Arcana are mysteries; ancient truths that are not understood. In this piece, the strong and militant blends with the mysterious.

Eithun, Sandra |

Review: The word Michigan originally referred to the lake itself, and is believed to come from the Ojibwe word 'michi-gami' meaning 'great water'. Commissioned for the Bay View Week of Handbells, which is held on the shores of Lake Michigan, composer Sandra Eithun chose to offer an homage to this beautiful lake and its rich history.
