arranged by Christine D. Anderson
published by Agape/Hope Publishing
Code No. 1588

Table setup:

D5/C5
F5\E5 

(update, January 31, 2003: Michèle decided that she likes them better set up as C5/D5 and F5\E5. YMMV - use whatever works for you.)

G6\C7/ - rh
\B6/A6 - lh

Michèle uses interlocked handles, but use whatever you're comfortable with.

NOTE: Michèle uses no chimes in this piece.  If you choose to do the same, do not play the notes indicated for chimes; simply leave them out.

Choreography:

m. 11: X all, setup E5//G5
m. 12: setup B5//G#5 and A5/F5
m. 13: play E5//G5 (rather than just G5), then disassemble
m. 15: play B5//G#5 (rather than just B5), then disassemble (L2-R), keeping B5 in left hand
m. 16: keep C6 in right hand and create G5\C6 cluster
m. 17: disassemble A5/F5 cluster, create F5\D6 cluster
m. 18: release G5, then create E5\C6 cluster
m. 21-24: If you don't play the optional notes, X all here
m. 32-34: Michèle doesn't play the optional notes here, either
m. 39: pass C6 from right hand to left
m. 40: keep E6 as a constant, creating C#6\E6 cluster
m. 41: release C#6 after playing it & create F6\E6 cluster
m. 44: damp C6 in D6/C6 configuration (Don't damp the D6 until beat one of m. 45 - this is to emphasize the C6 anticipation which is a non-harmonic tone.)
m. 45: release the D6 and pass the C6 to the right hand
m. 46: create C5/D5 and F5\E5 clusters
m. 48: damp D5 & F5 while ringing C5 & E5. Michèle doesn't do the swing
m. 49: Michèle doesn't do the swing. Use either hand to pick up the C6.
