CGB1229 Dandelion Wine (Handbell Score) - 4-6 octaves
Description
This original composition was inspired by composer Timothy O’Grady’s childhood memories of sitting on the porch in the summertime, sipping lemonade and and helping his mom make dandelion wine. What if each of us could imagine the scenario of being a child filled with joy and wonder, not needing to worry about the cares and concerns of adulthood. As this spirited concert piece is shared with audiences, hopefully ringers and listeners can be encouraged to pause and try to see the world through the eyes of a child once again.
