Written for 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes. Level 5. Not at all for the feint of heart, Michael Helman's three-movement masterwork is a true tour de force for your ensemble. The piece opens with the Exaltation, which alternates between a stately Baroque feel and a more modern syncopated rhythm, creating an atmosphere both old and new. This segues to the gentle Reflection, set in a lilting 9/8 time, which then gives way to the driving rhythms of the Dance, set primarily in a minor 7/8 time, but with occasional measures in 6/8, 3/8, and 4/4 thrown in for good measure. An outstanding musical statement for your advanced ensemble!

This Andante is taken from the violin concerto by Felix Mendelssohn. The piece begins simply, but soon builds in emotional intensity. The handbell arranger accomplished this through added more bells and increasing the dynamic. Bell changes will need some work as will sixteenth-note rhythms, but all well work the effort of the finished work. 91 measures in length, this arrangement is set in C Major.
