Description

The triumphant finale of Vierne’s third organ symphony comes to handbells! A stunning concert closer or epic encore, this dazzling work is a showcase of virtuosic ringing for the advanced ensemble, capturing all of the radiance and power of the original. With the characteristics of 20th-century French toccata – rapid treble ostinato passages and a slow, resonant melody in the bass – the piece concludes with a transposition to the parallel major key, a symbol of resolution and strength.
