“Mountain Journey” is an original work commissioned by the Charlotte Bronze Handbell Ensemble in memory of Greg Underwood. This level four selection moves through several styles of ringing and musical expression, taking listeners on a hiking journey through the mountains, one of Greg’s favorite pastimes. Approachable and accessible, this setting will become a favorite to ring.
