Review:
No one could participate in or listen to this triumphant work without feeling a sense of hope. 3 to 6-octaves of handbells and optional congregation, trumpet/brass quartet, and organ/keyboard all combine in a stirring, majestic setting of EIN FESTE BURG by Martin Luther. The congregation may sing on all four verses, which musically reflects the text. A wonderful way to involve several musical elements into a larger work.
