TOCCATA #3 (FROM THE “ST. FRANCIS SUITE”) – Kevin McChesney – 4-7 octaves handbells – Level V

A lively and vibrant rhythmic drive propels this sophisticated original work. Advanced community, school, and church groups will revel in the positive energy they generate through this dazzling music. The mixed meter and use of 7/8 is intuitive and will “feel” simpler than they first appear with a few rehearsals.
