Inspired by Isaiah 40:30-31, "those who hope in the Lord will soar on wings like eagles," the lovely but simple melody is established immediately and is creatively expanded through different ranges, voicings, and a few contrapuntal motifs. Delicate descending sixteenth-note patterns in the treble bells accompany the sweet melody in the chimes. Expressive through dynamics and tempo changes, the powerful yet sensitive ending incorporates rapid random malleting in the 6 and 7 bells with inner voices ringing descending sixteenth-note patterns. Your audience will be left holding their collective breath as it all naturally fades away to silence.
