Parousia
Red River Gold is the label used by Red River Music for advanced ensemble repertoire. The Ring of Fire Handbell Choir commissioned this original selection. PAROUSIA is a musical interpretation of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Much of the piece is in 7/8 time in reflection of the "time, times, and half a time" mentioned in Bible prophecy. An opening swirl of notes takes the listener into the terrors of Judgement Day. Later, another whirlpool of bells ushers in the mysteries of heaven. More scenes, including a song of triumph, musical appear on this unusual, musical journey.
