William Payn is recognized as one of the finest contemporary composers of handbell music. This is a classic William Payn piece and will be a welcomed addition to the handbell repertoire. The piece begins with a brisk eighth note pattern in both treble and bass bells and is followed by the introduction of a theme presented in the bass bells. The theme is developed and moves through three key changes before giving way to a peaceful middle section. Both themes are combined in the finale. A challenging piece well worth the work. For church or concert use. 5 octaves (58 bells).
