3, 4, or 5 octaves handbells - Level 2+ - Digital Download SKU: C7.CGB1058 Composed by Karen Thompson. General, Lent. Score. 12 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGB1058. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGB1058). UPC: 749193027295.With a title drawn from the enthusiastic Latin exclamation meaning let us live!, this energetic piece was commissioned by the Mid-Carolinas Handbell Festival in Charlotte, North Carolina. It celebrates the festival's longevity of 22 years; and its founder, Bob Ivey. Abundant use of special techniques provides perfect teaching moments for single choirs or festival ringers; and a clever incorporation of melodic retrograde provides a bit of a scherzo (challenge your ringers to find it!). This joyful, lively piece is accessible and fun: with a couple of key changes but limited accidentals throughout, it provides a recipe for ringers to be active as well as successful!
