Review:
An arrangement that elegantly portrays the mood of Advent, this rendition of "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" is unique and versatile. Beginning with a processional that is quite easy to memorize, the piece may be rung by a chime choir and handbell choir or by one handbell choir and keyboard. Following the processional is a meditative setting of the hymn. Options include an immediate segue from the Processional to the Meditation, or ringing the two as separate entities. It is arranged in c minor.
