Christmas Tapestry
Linda McKechnie weaves her own original tune together with the Christmas favorites "Deck the Halls," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," and "Gloria in Excelsis". |

Danza
2-3 octaves of bells, rung in chordal texture with lots of "spicy" techniques thrown in are only part of the overall "sound ensemble" of this tune originally written by T. Susato. Keyboard, percussion, and brass contribute as well in the joyful mood. |

Fancye
This original work was comissioned by a youth bell choir and it certainly has the energy and enthusiasm of youth! Set in 10/8 meter with a brisk tempo and peppered with martellatos, mart-lifts, and stacatto mallet markings, the music lopes along for 30 measures before it settles into a 4/4 section that flows with Lv'd eighth-note accompaniment. |
