Shawnee Press Song of Celebration (3-5 Octaves of Handbells Level 3) HANDBELLS (2-3) Composed by J. Westenkuehler

6/8 time,energy, and major-minor melody are all a part of this original composition for 3, 4 or 5 octaves. Cluster chords, resembling bell tower tolls introduce the work and are used throughout. After a happy, major key section the parallel minor key is invoked for a passage of malleting bells on tables. A peaceful section ensues before returning to Tempo I.
