David Macbride - bells of remembrance

Andrew Anderson, piano
Richard An, percussion

For glockenspiel, vibes and piano. Bells of Remembrance was written for the piano and percussion duet "Conundrum" and premiered at the 3rd Annual New Music Festival in Las Vegas. The percussion part requires a set of orchestra bells (glockenspiel) and a vibraphone. Both players use additional small hand bells to great effect. Written in memory of all those who have lost their lives in the present war, past wars and future wars, it is dedicated to Jerry Hermsen, whose collection of bells inspired the composer. Duration: ca. 10 minutes.
