Beethoven was masterful at creating excitement, energy, and life in his melodies. His well-known "Ode to Joy" is no exception. Fantasy on HYMN TO JOY is filled with delightful surprises, including rhythmic changes from 4/4 to 6/8 and back again. This tempo variation can be easily mastered by keeping the eighth note constant, even in the 6/8 sections. Optional handchimes add depth to the lively spirit of the piece, but it also stands alone nicely with handbells. Arranged for Handells (3-5 octaves) and optional Handchimes (3 octaves). Handbell Level 3.
