3-5 Octaves of Handbells Level 3-6/8 time energy and major-minor melody are all a part of this original composition for 3 4 or 5 octaves. Cluster chords resembling bell tower tolls introduce the work and are used throughout. After a happy major key sectionthe parallel minor key is invoked for a passage of malleting bells on tables. A peaceful section ensues before returning to Tempo I.
