Handbell 5 Octaves Level 3
Composer: Welsh Folk Melody
Arranger: Carl Wiltse
Commissioned in celebration of a Director's ministry in music, this festive piece is triumphant, energetic and keeps all ringers involved. Optional handchimes add contrast in a middle section. Primarily, chordal ringing (and tall chords at that) is called for; the quarter = 110 tempo is the main challenge. This version of the familiar hymntune is a nice selection for festivals or an opening concert number as well as any up-beat moment of worship. It is 109 measures and is scored in C Major and E Major.
