Review:
This selection for SATB choir, congregation, 3 to 5-octaves of bells, brass, and organ is an excellent way to involve ringers in a larger, musical experience than normal. The bell score may be performed as a solo piece as well. The text begins "Built on the Rock the Church shall stand, even when steeples are falling; crumbled have spires in every land, bells still are chiming and calling". Measures total 194.
