Prelude
A reverent piece in the style of Russian sacred music, this arrangement of Rachmaninoff's work is well-suited to chimes and bells in worship. It opens with chimes in hymn-like four voices, but becomes thicker and more sonorous as the bells pick up the developing ideas. The full bodied ending with the melody in multiple octaves is a wonderful ringing and listening experience. 30 measures. Key of F Major.
