Review:
John Behnke’s new handbell arrangement of “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less”, using the tune MAGDALEN, unites three different statements of the hymn, with the middle section being in a minor key with mallet work for the bass. The final statement of the hymn presents full chords and the option to double the melody up one octave. The arrangement is wonderfully crafted and will be enjoyed by both ringers and listeners. Scored for 3–5 octave handbells. Level II.
