A repetitive rhythmic motif combined with thumb damps and plucked notes gives this piece a buoyant quality. This child-like tune literally dances off the page in this piece that combines the timbre of handbells and optional handchimes. Chordal textures gradually become thicker concluding in an exciting cadence.
