Wind Suite for Handbells: 4. Simoom (3-5 octaves handbells)

4. SIMOOM (FROM THE WIND SUITE FOR HANDBELLS) – Scott Pfitzinger – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level II

A creative new suite by Scott Pfitzinger, the Wind Suite for Handbells is a handbell suite where each movement is based on a different wind from somewhere in the world, not only creating a musical picture of the wind, but also conveying the images and cultures of the places where each wind lives. Set for 3 to 6 octaves of handbells, the levels range from 2 to 5 and the entire suite can be played in about 15 minutes.

4. Simoom – A musical representation of the wind that is called Simoom: A relatively brief, hot dry violent dust-laden wind that blows in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula.
