For Two-Part Treble Voices (Children) and Keyboard with opt. Handbells (4 Octaves)
By William Beckstrand
This fascinating text by Thomas Troeger is constructed like a chain of talismans ("Heart, hold fast. One truth clasp: Center on Christ alone") and provides a perfect vehicle for children's voices. The composer is known for his craftsmanship, and it's wonderful to see his skills applied to music for two-part treble voices, with keyboard accompaniment and optional handbells (15 bells over a 4 octave span).
