   Farandole
Farandole Kevin McChesney has transcribed this classic from Bizet for 3-7 octaves of handbells and two optional belltrees. The tune "March of the Kings" makes an appearance, making this piece appropriate for concert, Advent, Christmas, or general use. Although the belltrees are optional, they certainly add a lot of flash to the performance. It is 133 measures in length and is scored in C Major.
