Wind Suite for Handbells: 6. Chubasco (3-5 octaves handbells)

6. CHUBASCO (FROM THE WIND SUITE FOR HANDBELLS) – Scott Pfitzinger – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level V

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.

6. Chubasco – A musical representation of the wind that is called Chubasco: A violent squall with thunder, lightning, and rain along the Pacific coast of Mexico, Central America, and South America.
