Living Water—Cathy Moklebust. "Whoever
believes in me, rivers of living water will flow
from within them." In this original composition,
handbells describe a metaphor where faith
starts as a small brook that gradually becomes
deeper and more active as it flows from brook to
stream to a rushing river. Starting with a simple
melody surrounded by quiet, randomly malleted
bells and followed by a gently flowing section of
moving LV bass, the music gradually develops
into a strong, churning section of LV sixteenth
notes. As the piece draws to a close, it returns
to the calmer, gentler sounds of the beginning.

appropriate for concert or worship
