* Composed for the carillonist's Midnight New Year's Eve recital on the National Carillon, Canberra, written in contemporary style but based on traditional peals and chimes. Two contrasting motifs alternate throughout, and the piece ends with an impressive tone/semitone descending passage to the lowest bell, which sounds 12 times as a farewell to the old Century. |
