Review:
This 19th century Dakota hymn is a unique addition to the church repertoire, and is appropriate at any time the focus is on creation. Cathy Moklebust’s arrangement is simple and plaintive, featuring repetitive rhythms, very few techniques, and no bell changes. The optional parts for ankle bells or sleigh bells, buffalo drum or other American Indian drum, finger cymbals and tambourine add depth and intrigue. Two compatible editions for 2 or 3 octaves, or 3, 4, or 5 octaves are available. 68 measures. Key of g minor.
