About this arrangement

Handbells - intermediate SKU: CR.977810 Composed by Hart Morris. Handbell. 3-5 Octave Handbells - Handbell Level 7. With music. Concordia Publishing House #977810. Published by Concordia Publishing House (CR.977810). ISBN 9780758660831. 8.5 x 11 inches.The arrangement of this ancient Easter hymn begins in a somber, chant-like style with subtle, free-ringing upper bells and low, humming singing bells. From there the piece grows from a simple and straightforward chordal style through the second and third stanzas. It culminates in a triumphant maestoso fourth stanza played over a moving bass line. The arrangement ends with a final 'Alleluia' in D major. Scored for 3 - 5 octave handbells. Level III.
