The Old Castle (3-5 octaves handbells)

THE OLD CASTLE (FROM “PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION”) – Modest Mussorgsky/trans. Kevin McChesney – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level IV

The droning bass makes this piece work well for the 5 octave choir that is short ringers. And this somber, ethereal movement from Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” makes a wonderful concert selection for all choirs.
