Return to Handbell – Full Choir

Winter Dance (Handbells, 7 octaves plus handchimes, 2 octaves, Level 4)

Seiichi Kyoda composed this wonderful piece. His group Uttara-Kuru performed Winter Dance with a synthesis of traditional Japanese instruments (shakuhachi, koto, etc.) and electronica. The picture is of the citizens of a remote village celebrating life with a community dance.

    I’ve listened to this piece twice in 2 days and I am excited to be playing it at UK Bronze in October with Fred Gramann. This piece is incredible – the driving rhythms are amazing. thank you for arranging this exciting piece of music, Larry.
