Description

Lee G. Barrow has adapted the scherzo of Tchaikovsky’s fourth symphony for five or six octaves of handbells in Pizzicato Ostinato. Not for the faint of heart, this level 5 piece will challenge ringers’ mallet skills, as well as their reading of accidentals. The middle meno mosso section is rung, providing a nice aural contrast to the opening section — but watch out for the sixteenth notes. Use this lively piece on your spring concert to really show off your choir’s skills.
