Review:
This inspirational song was made famous by singers Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and in 1999 won David Foster the Golden Globe Award for best song of the year. Set for 3 to 5 octave handbells and optional 3 to 5 octave handchimes and sythesizer, arranger Joel Raney captures the serene beauty of this powerful ballad. Ringers will appreciate the well thought out structure and logical progressions, with minimal bell changes, that build to a satisfying modulation at the end. The addition of synthesizer strings creates an ethereal, heavenly quality enhancing the prayerful mood. The synthesizer strings part is included.
