Cathedral Bell Fantasy (Percussion Section Feature w/ Band Gr. 4)

A great piece to feature your percussion section, this setting of "Carol of the Bells" is a fast and exciting rendition that does not follow the standard outline of the tune. A very unique arrangement, that uses modern compositional techniques like tone clusters and changing rhythmic patterns, will let your band and especially percussion shine! Plenty of dissonances and extreme dynamic changes will keep the audience on edge to the end.
