Review:
Robin Benton has crafted a lovely setting of the familiar American tune, with accompanying textures making it sound harder than it really is. A few dotted quarters and eighths appear, and some easy syncopation makes it a level 2 piece requiring 19 to 23 bells. Careful attention to the dynamic changes and the adagio tempo will produce a beautiful setting. Set in G Major, the arrangement is 26 measures.
