Ralph Vaughan Williams’s stately hymn tune is presented with dignity and flourish, rivaling music heard in any English cathedral. The dialogue between bells/chimes and organ allows each the chance to present this well-loved theme. The music will be easy to prepare for your ringers, but the effect on worshipers will last long after the final chord has sounded. A total of 64 measures, this work is scored in Bb Major and C Major.
