BALLADE - Kevin McChesney - handbell solo with keyboard accompaniment
An original composition effectively adapted from an earlier guitar and recorder duet. Legato line and potential four-in-hand usage are some of the technical challenges. A fairly lengthy work, use in worship as an anthem - especially one which celebrates children.
This light and lively original piece features mallets and has a "catchy" tune that ringers and listeners will find themselves singing long after the presentation is over. A delightful selection for concert, worship, or festival.
