Suitable for festival or worship settings, this piece introduces an original theme followed by five variations that employ numerous ringing techniques including ring touch, echo, martellato, as well as a whole variation played with mallets. Changing mode and changing meter also add to the interest and teaching possibilities with this piece. This set of variations will become a favorite of both children and youth bell choirs as well as beginning adult groups. Voicing: 2-3 octaves handbells Composer: Michael Helman Season: General Level: 2
