CGB814 Reminiscence
Description
Reminiscence was commissioned by Encore! Handbell Ensemble in celebration of the life of founding member Shirley Schuhart. A devoted ringer described as "steady" and "dependable," Shirley's place in Encore! was primarily on the B4 and C5 bells. Reminiscence relies heavily on these bells - primarily the C5 - to be the steady "heartbeat" throughout the piece. Suitable in both worship and concert settings, the flexible voicing of the piece (spanning 3 to 7 octaves) makes it an excellent choice for festivals.
Voicing: 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 octaves handbells with optional 3, 6 or 7 octaves handchimes
Composer: Michael J. Glasgow
Level: 3+
