Passage

Written for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes.  Level 4.  This original work by Kerry Johnston will showcase the musicality and technique of advanced ensembles and provide a moving journey for listeners.  An opening Baroque-inspired motif progresses through various iterations and permutations before a slower, more understated and lyrical sections ensues.  The energy grows once more near the end for a triumphant return of the opening ideas, this time in a glorious major key before bringing the piece to a satisfying conclusion.
