Free malleting of suspended bells opens this original work. Following the short introduction, a moderato section is characterized by a rich melody and solid rhythms. Contrast is offered through a slightly slower section and two more measures marked "freely." Material from the initial moderato section returns, leading to a quiet final chord of suspended bells played with mallets.
