Review:
This setting of Henry Purcell's famed tune is for 5 ringers, written for 4 octaves of bells to keep it in the original key of D major. It can be played using 3 octaves by making the modification given in the performance notes. The score consists of 3 staves with ringer 1 the first, ringers 2 & 3 on the second and ringers 4 & 5 on the third.
