Rejoice! (3-5 octaves handbells)

REJOICE! – Kevin McChesney – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level III

This is an energetic original composition that is sure to find a place in contemporary, traditional, or blended services as well as on the concert stage. The syncopated rhythms are accessible and the running mallet line in the bass propels the piece so that listeners are bound to find their hearts pounding and their feet tapping. There are some bell changes to work out, but not many and they are repeated. Plenty of musical and visual opportunities for church, school, and community groups.
