Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted
This well-known Lenten hymn based on the tune O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN, has been arranged by Lauran Delancy, a new composer to the Concordia Publishing House Music Catalog. An innovative handbell technique called "rim brush" has been integrated into the beginning and ending of this soulful composition. Ideal throughout Lent or Holy Week, this piece is set in f minor and is 82 measures.
