Review:
The arrangement is for handbells, harp OR piano, and organ OR second harp. This is a beautiful setting of WACHET AUF. If piano is used instead of harp, the arpeggiated measures at the beginning and end can be played as written or improvised in a harp-like fashion, appropriate to the chords of each measure. The addition of Singing Bell adds a nice foundation for the opening bell and harp sequences which bracket the chorale. Key of Ab Major. 125 measures. Performance on the CD is by the Gateway Ringers, Charles Peery, harpist.
