Description

The original version of this handbell selection can be found in “Piano Reflections II” by Malcolm Kogut (G-4076). The “chant” tune is in natural d minor (or Aeolian mode) with a couple of exceptions. The mood is contemplative but builds in texture and dynamics. Scattered special technique, such as mart-lifts and plucking, add touches of emphasis. The ending returns to a simple reflectiveness and fades to silence. 30 measures with repeats.
