Handbell - Grade 5

SKU: BP.HB598

Composed by Michael Helman. Arranged by Michael Helman. Handbell choir music. Handbell score. Beckenhorst Press #HB598. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB598).

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!

Though scored entirely in five-four time, the middle section is conducted in an uneven four, giving ringers the chance to practice asymmetric meters. A great choice for advanced choirs in either worship or concert.
