“When All Else Fails”

When All Else Fails

Composer Matthew Compton

has, over the past three years, created

an extraordinary suite combining

his handbells choirs, Bells

of the Cascades of Oregon and

the Peaks Peak Ringers of Colorado

with solo and supporting roles by

flute, grand piano, clarinet, oboe,

violin, viola, cello, percussion

and vocalists.

What a privilege it was to hear

the World Premiere of “When All

Else Fails” lifting handbells to symphony proportions!
