Review:
Although considered a level two piece, this old favorite hymn is given a creative treatment, especially in its harmonic and textural construction. It begins in A major, but modulates to D, with limited accidentals along the way. Rhythm is limited to whole, half, and quarter notes. There are two settings - MFLSB432 in the "Chime In Series" for handbells or handchimes, and MFLHB392 for a quartet of ringers. This piece is 64 measures.
