Requiem (The Fifth) (5 or 7 octaves handbells)

REQUIEM (THE FIFTH) – Beethoven, Mozart, Paul O’Neill/arr. Hart Morris – 5 or 7 octaves handbells with optional 3-7 octaves handchimes – Level III/III+

Beethoven rocks out! This Trans-Siberian Orchestra title includes quotes of Beethoven’s most famous tune and from Mozart’s “Requiem”. This hard-driving number depicts a fanciful scene – Beethoven communing with his muses on the lightning-filled night of his death. An electrifying concert number for adult and youth groups. Whether this is Level III for handbells alone; Level III+ when using handchimes (see Performance Notes). All rhythms are very accessible to groups who play Level III music.
