Review:
Thick textures and rich chords accompany the hymn-like melody of this expressive piece. It pairs bells and chimes (or malleted bells) in fairly chromatic harmonies but at a rather slow tempo. Consistent rhythm allows ringers to concentrate on frequent bell changes. Begins in G Major, modulates to Gb Major, then to Eb Major. 83 measures.
