La Tempestad
An original piece for the advanced handbell ensemble, this rhythmic tour de force evokes both a Latin dance and a violent storm. While inspired by the sounds of Latin dance music, it defies any regular form by employing a constantly shifting meter. The name of the piece alludes to the storm-like quality suggested by rapid accented notes in a minor mode. The use of martellato, mallets, hand claps, and optional claves add excitement and energy. Optional 5-7 octaves handchimes, claves.
