This original work was commissioned by Capital Ringers of Dover, Delaware, in celebration of their tenth anniversary, and dedicated to their director, Linda Simms. The opening portion of the piece features a sweeping melody over a lush, flowing LV accompaniment. The second section is upbeat and joyful, utilizing malleting, martellato, thumb damping, and ring touch. The melody of the first section returns, and the piece closes with random malleting and singing bells. In Beauty, Celebration, and Peace will be a lovely and joyful addition to the worship or concert repertoire. |
