Description

Looking for a unique, creative, challenging new piece of music for your Bronze level group?  This original composition from gifted composer Chris Burton is exactly what you need!   It is engaging, exciting, and contains a memorable melody line which is developed and revisited throughout the work. Written in 3/4, 6/8, and 7/8, it moves along at a brisk pace and is filled with excitement and zest!  A lovely, more introspective section featuring handchimes calmly draws the listener into a more peaceful scene … until … the form and excitement from the beginning reappears and drives onward to a dynamic and powerful ending!  There are ample areas for expression and the judicious use of mallets, occasional marts, echoes, and LV will keep each of your ringers engaged. There are so many interesting and surprising elements in this work – you must listen to it to experience it. This fresh, new  work will be perfect for your next concert!
