Description

“Festival on Wexford Carol” celebrates this compelling 12th century Irish tune in a dignified setting featuring rhythmic mallets in the bass; first with straight 16th note patterns and, later, with 16th note triplets (reminiscent of Ravel’s Bolero), accompanying the 1st and 3rd verse melodies played in the treble – while the 2nd verse showcases a unison melody line in the bass and rhythmic chords in the treble. Unaffected and straightforward, this exploration of intriguing rhythms at a stately tempo will mesmerize your audience – while also preparing your ringers for more challenging up-tempo pieces using 16th note duple and triple rhythm patterns. Options for using duplicate bells for specific situations are noted. 4-6 octaves RE 83252
