Reflections is an original work written and performed in 1978 at the festival at Amherst, Massachusettes. Betty stated, "This piece makes full use of the 5 octave set of bells. Bearing in mind the unlimited possibilities for perceiving reflections of all kinds, physical, mental, and spiritual --- it is left up to you, the creative listener to conjure up your own Reflections."  This piece was dedicated to Mildred B. and Daniel H. Boyd (Betty's parents).  Written ahead of its time in the key of G-flat, it is highly chromatic, modal, and tri-tonal.  It utilizes triplet figures in both treble and bass.  It is in 5/4 time and has a romantic 'con moto' middle section that stays in the mind's ear.
