Show that your concert group is BACK!!! The first movement of the "English Folk Song Suite" by Ralph Vaughan Williams (March) is a standard in band and orchestra literature, and this bold and vibrant work is even more magnificent on bells. 8 optional handchimes (F5-Ab6) add tonal color. Level 5 for a reason, but the result is a true concert stunner. 132 measures.
