This Chopin mazurka springs to life on handbells! The bold A section embraces traditional mazurka conventions with a repetitive, rhythmic chordal theme, while the contrasting B section uses a drone motif under a sprightly melodic line based on a folk tune. Optional chimes can enhance the drone. Valuable in a school setting as a pedagogical piece teaching dotted eighth-sixteenth rhythms, contrasting dynamics and form, and romantic/modernist music literature, Mazurka is also a fun-to-ring piece which offers an interesting, light moment in concert, festival, and worship settings.
