Forever was commissioned in 2012 by Dee Allaway and her family in memory of her father Walter Dennis Oliver. It’s a grand tribute to a man who brought music to his family as well as others around him.
At least five octaves of handbells are necessary to play Forever. You’ll find that there are abundant opportunities for your ringers to exercise their skills while creating an atmosphere that will surround your audience.
Handbells (five, six, seven, or eight octaves) plus handchimes (three octaves, E4-B5)
AGEHR Level 5
