Review:
This is an abbreviated arrangement of the "Amen Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah". It is a 4-octave piece with three optional notes from the 5th-octave. The tempo suggestion at the beginning of the piece is "vigorously", suggesting a deliberateness of ringing. Many sixteenth notes are included and most ringers stay busy most of the time. Written in D Major, "Amen Chorus" is 64 measures.
