Instrumentation: 7 octave handbell choir
Duration: 4'
Completed: March 2014

Jubilations was composed for the Rooke Chapel Ringers of Bucknell University and dedicated to Dr. William Payn, the ensemble's director since it's inception in 1983. It was premiered at the Ringers' Spring Concert in April of 2014 - the final concert with Dr. Payn before his retirement. This piece was a surprise that the Ringers pulled off without the help of Dr. Payn. It was a wonderful collaboration between myself, all the ringers and Sam Robinson, who conducted the piece at the premiere. It was a special moment to surprise Dr. Payn with this piece - a sincere token of appreciation from all of us to him.

This large, original work for handbells and solo violin includes three movements, with each movement based on a quote by Mother Teresa, Mohandas Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  The first movement, entitled, Compassion, is tender and full of feeling.  The second movement, entitled Satyagraha, which is a word referring to the resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, is vigorous and driving, using much martellato and mallet work.  The final movement is entitled Tribute, is steady and stately, and is reminiscent of a freedom march led by Dr. King, coming from afar and gaining more and more momentum.  This work will be an appropriate addition for any service or concert where the focus is on peace, hope, remembrance, or tribute.

Composed in honor of Dr. Oran Nabors and for Cast of Bronze directed by Christopher Nabors, this work encompasses and embraces expressive melodies surrounded by the dramatic inclusion of cascading bells and contrasting dynamics. The use of handchimes coupled with the handbells gives the work depth and color and serves to intensify soaring displays of sound in all of the registers. If you like Dr. Payn’s handbell work Radiance published by Choristers Guild in 2006, you will find this new addition to the CG catalogue to be a challenging, rewarding addition to the advanced choir repertoire and one that will captivate audiences all the way to the final dramatic ending.
