Capriccio - Kevin McChesney - Music 'til Midnight Fall 2014

"Capriccio", an original composition by Kevin McChesney. Published by AGEHR Publishing. 3-5 octaves. Level 5. Performed on 6 octaves of handbells. This performance was a group of amazing ringers from Concordia University, WI at the fall 2014 Music 'til Midnight concert where we performed with many other amazing talents way late at night. We spent a month learning this, and my original composition "To God be the Peace".

Matthew - thank you for posting this. I absolutely love this piece and would like our handbell team to learn it. I appreciated your seamless conducting at 3:00 and 3:07 (gave me goosebumps- my goodness, so good).

Hello Kathy!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I never got an email saying you commented so I JUST saw this! Yes, this is my favorite piece ever and I was so happy with how well this group rang the piece (credit given to Dr. Behnke for getting the ringers to the level they are). I've never had someone describe my conducting as seamless, so thank you! Very kind and very humbling! I will be posting more videos in the future, but please check out the other videos I have!

Matt.. I'm not sure your Tempo was fast enough.. It seemed that the musicians had time to breath during the piece.. ;-)

Accuracy over speed! We still went faster than the written tempo however
