Samuel Wesley's monumental hymn, AURELIA, has been arranged for congregational singing, accompanied by handbells, organ, brass, timpani, and SATB choir, However, the handbell score may be played alone if desired, as all the other parts are optional. The third stanza is sung only by the choir (with optional organ), and may be omitted if desired. This great hymn of the church is used many times during the church year, and is especially appropriate for honoring the 500th anniversary of The Reformation.
