CGB1334 HeartBeat
Description
A thrilling original composition, HeartBeat takes ringers and audiences on an electrifying journey. Beginning with two malleted eighth notes, the heartbeat grows and morphs as more bells are added, building to the excitement of a powerful B section. Eventually, the heartbeat becomes a gently-rung part of a beautiful melody soaring above an underlying triplet pattern. The B section makes another appearance before the A section returns, racing towards the finish, but not before a surprise flatline, leading to a spine-tingling and breathtaking conclusion. Published in the Choristers Guild “Community Ensemble” Series.
