CGB661 Prologue and Rhythmic Dance - Handbell Score
Description
This original composition for handbells and percussion will be an exciting addition to the concert or worship repertoire. The Prologue begins with a simple melody accompanied by wind chimes, and the singing bell technique. The dance follows in a light and lively 7/8 meter, using triangle, bongos and tambourine to accentuate the rhythmic patterns. The shimmering treble melody is accompanied by a malleted bass eighth note pattern; then later, the bass bells play the fully harmonized melody under a light treble ostinato. The music fades away with the treble melody, light malleted bass and singing bell technique.
Voicing: 3, 5, 6 or 7 octaves handbells with chime tree, triangle, bongos, and tambourine
Composer: Cathy Moklebust
Tune: Original tune
Season: General
