Originally composed by German musicians, "Highland Cathedral" is now a popular Scottish tune. It is often performed on bagpipes but has been arranged here for a full set of handbells with optional instruments. The piece opens with the singing bell technique and drum-like, malleted low bass notes. The melody is given various treatments, and many special techniques add interest. 111 measures in length, "Highland Cathedral" is set in C Major.
