Review:
2 to 3-octaves of optional handchimes and windchimes are scored for this setting of the Swedish folk tune "Bred Dina Vida Vingar" along with a narrator speaking words of the text throughout the music. Mallets on suspended bells enhance the mood of the text which begins "Thy holy wings, O Jesus, spread gently over me; and let me still repose through good and ill in Thee". An alternate version of the narration is included in the performance notes.
