Review:
This setting of the traditional French melody Picardy is especially suitable for times of prayer and contemplation. The piece utilizes gentle modal harmonies and counter-melodies that complement the solo line. It is quite effective with the hammered dulcimer, but any wind or stringed instrument may be used. If desired, handchimes (played by a solo ringer or a group of extra ringers) may substitute for the solo instrument.
