arr. Maggs
Level 2-
Charles Maggs preserved and underscored the plaintive quality of this familiar hymn tune from "Southern Harmony" in this accessible 3 octave setting. Simple rising and falling chord progressions in midrange bells, supported by a slow, simple ostinato pattern in the lower bells, provide a plain backdrop to the simple presentation of the melody. This work makes a highly effective and quietly dramatic selection for use in worship during Lent, or at any other service where teh focus is to be on Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
