Christ the Lord Is Risen Today
Patricia Hurlbutt’s arrangement of the tune LLANFAIR is a joyful and bright Easter selection for 3–5 octave handbells. A variety of textures are used, such as the opening fugal presentation of the tune and the mart accompaniment and rung melody in the lower bells. Exuberant and uplifting, the setting finishes with a grand chordal flourish.
