Description

Scored for 3 octaves, “Rejoice” is a good choice for any festive occasion. The first lively melodic theme starts in the highest bells and moves down through each octave. After a short B section in the upper bells, the lower two octaves ring the C melody. The D melody is in the bass clef with thumb damps in the highest bells. Themes A and B return at the end followed by a short coda based on the opening melody. Eighth notes plus bell changes for F5 and D6 make this a Level 2 composition. This 65-measure piece is in F Major.
