Prelude in C# Minor

Rachmaninoff's Opus 3, No. 2 is the subject of this transcription written for The Raleigh Ringers. Chromatic changes and tempo shifts present the biggest challenge to the ringers in an otherwise tame rhythmic setting of only 61 measures. The texture is full with many chordal movements in eighth-note harmonic rhythm.
