What a Wonderful World

This wonderful song, originally made famous by Louis Armstrong’s quintessential recording, is set here by Sandra Eithun for 3-6 octaves of handbells with optional handchimes and wind chimes. Calling forth the lyrics, “I see trees of green, red roses, too..” audiences experience a sensation of color through lush chords on handchimes and lingering melody lines. This iconic piece is sure to be a highlight on concert and festival programs. Key of Eb Major. 59 measures.
