Shock Wave

Tempo marking reads:  Explosively!  Powerful, exciting and engaging, Shock Wave features an engaging melody supported by a pulsing rhythm and well-placed articulations. Addition of handchimes, descending marts  and LV sections will engage listeners throughout. Bass ringers will love that there are many ‘Rung’ passages in both the bells and chimes. A brief break from the unrelenting tempo features an introspective handchimes section plus some abrupt dynamic changes will challenge ringers. This well-formed and wonderfully crafted work is a ‘must-have’ for the Bronze level ensembles! Note:  Virginia Bronze will be performing this at Seminar in St. Louis.
