Chaconne (4-7 octaves handbells)

CHACONNE – Kevin McChesney – 4-7 octaves handbells – Level V

Written in honor of David Davidson (1948-2009), this is an original work of great power, artistry, and heartfelt emotion. The primary motive upon which the sequence of variations is based begins with the notes D-B – the initials of Distinctly Bronze, Mr. Davidson’s premier event that forever raised the level of advanced ringing. Ringers and audiences will be lifted up in profound ways as they experience this tribute to one of the true masters of handbells.
