This hymn setting captures the sparse mystic aura of the chanted music of past centuries. A single voice melody in the middle bell range focuses on the tune. It is accompanied by slow tolling bell patterns in one verse, by drumming patterns of malleted bells in a second, and by both joining for verse three. Only three accidentals occur within the F major tonality in the entirety of this evocative arrangement.
