Review:
The early American hymn tune BEACH SPRING is used with a variety of texts in different hymnals, making this arrangement very functional for many different times of the church year. This setting has a lyrical quality, and incorporates LV and echo techniques, as well as an extended optional chime section. Original material is used for the introduction, transitions, and coda. Both treble and bass ringers share in playing melodic material. The piece presents directors and ringers with a wonderful opportunity to explore 3/2 meter with this very familiar tune. A total of 98 measures, this work is scored in Eb Major and F Major.
