An extended introduction builds interest through a repetitious accompaniment figure and bits of melodic material spread throughout in the bass. A full section is next with lost of full chords and a running, malleted bass line. An interesting meter shifts puts the melody in 6/8 time. In addition the melody is in octaves with chimes and bells. 2 octaves of handchimes are needed.
