Review:
Bell soloists will enjoy the performance possibilities of this beautiful hymn setting. Imaginative counter-themes in the piano and optional Bb trumpet parts add a lovely element of complexity to the bell melody throughout. The trio in the the middle section is especially effective. Handbell range is from D5 through C#7. The trumpet part is optional but adds much depth to this piece. The piano accompaniment needs a
competent level of facility. Three copies of this piece will be needed: one for the soloist, one for the accompanist, and one for the trumpet player. (There are no separate scores.) Arranged in C Major, this piece is 74 measures.
