An Odyssey of Peace
Brian Childers.
This original piece was inspired by Revelation 4:1-11 and beautifully
reflects that scripture. The passages may be read as part of the
performance or simply used as interpretive insight. The bell score may
be performed alone, but the addition of percussion enhances the
dynamic of the piece. Handchimes (3-4 octaves) and alternate bells
(D5-E6) add texture and emphasize the countermelody. Percussion
1 part: mark tree, suspended cymbal, wind chimes, tam tam (gong),
snare, tambourine, ratchet, triangle. Percussion 2 part: orchestra
chimes, triangle, glockenspiel. Percussion 3 part: timpani only.

Restored
Sandra Eithun.
Referencing the psalmist's phrase "He restores my soul," this
original piece offers the listener a sense of calm in spite of life's
turbulent times. The opening section of the piece is contemplative
and exposed. An uplifting theme is then introduced and evolves
into a quiet and brooding middle section. To remind us of the title,
there is a modulation leading into a powerful restatement of the
initial theme. This piece offers an enormous opportunity to work
on expression and dynamic variance and is perfect for church,
concert, or festival venues.
