Review:
“Easter Bells” is a triumphant medley of three cherished Easter hymns: “Christ the Lord Is Risen Again,” “This Joyful Eastertide,” and “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.” An ostinato ties the elements together thematically. With strong chordal ringing and accessibility, this is a stunning selection for Easter Sunday and the season that follows. Scored for 3–5 octave handbells. Level III. 80 measures. Keys of c minor, C Major, and Eb Major.
