The original instrumentation for this addition to The Raleigh Ringers Series includes 5-7 octaves of handbells, 4 octaves of handchimes, finger cymbals, a chime/mark Tree, and triangle. All these instruments are combined to produce a melancholy mood through flowing rhythms and colorful textures. After the beginning thirty-second notes (in slow rhythm), ringers may find this one of the more accessible of this series. Note: Recording begins at measure 14.
