Mallets are used both on suspended and tabled bells, contributing to the variety of moods within this original composition. An ethereal effect is created with suspended malleting, windchimes and flutter-tonguing by the flutes, contrasted by energetic and flowing sections featuring joyful melodies. The well-known hymntune OLD HUNDREDTH is woven into the fabric of original themes.
Voicing: 3, 4, or 5 octave handbells with optional 3 octave handchimes
Composer: Valerie W Stephenson
