Nocturne is an original work for three or five octaves of handbells (and three octaves of handchimes). I composed it as an entry in a composition contest, with the conditions being that it had to be Level 2 or 3, and be less than 4’30” in duration.
I think you’ll like – or maybe love! – Nocturne, because of it’s thoughtful introspectivity. It would do well as a concert selection, a festival piece, an offertory, or a general meditation on something rather serious. But that’s just me talking – please view the video here and make your own decision!
