I've been playing with "Breathe on Me, Breath of God" on and off the past couple days (before I wrote the reminder), and now I have a working copy good enough that I'm probably going to send it to someone tomorrow, since tomorrow is the last day of the month and I do not want to break further promises to myself. It is not close to the favorite piece I've written, but I suspect that no level 1 piece would ever be.
So, um, give opinions after you have looked and listened. (The listening is lame, because you cannot hear the echo technique, which would make the second time through the song sound much less unexciting. But it gives you an idea of the general feel.)

I was looking online to see how many 3-5 octave level 1 handbell pieces are in print (not counting lesson books and similar items, it's only about 50 -- this will be my market!) and I saw this. Now. Think about the syncopation in those songs, and think about the fact that no level 1 piece is allowed to use notes smaller than quarters, and tell me if this makes the sense.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
