Review:
An arrangement by Lee J. Afdahl of George J. Elvey's tune ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR for 3-5 octave handbells with optional 4 octave handchimes. In addition to its use with this Thanksgiving and harvest text, this tune is also used with the hymn "Songs of Thankfulness and Praise," which is hymn of the day on Epiphany 6. Full chords create a stately, majestic mood. 101 measures in length, it is scored in C Major.
