CGB1217 Bright and Glorious Is the Sky - 2-3 octaves
Description
This arrangement of the Danish tune DELIG ER DEN HIMMEL BLAA features considerable variety in the sections, including happy and light-hearted, a standard hymn setting, a softer, more contemplative mood with handchimes, and a dramatic transition with random ringing into the final, majestic conclusion. Malleting, thumb damping, shaking, and LV’s are the techniques used and there are no accidentals. Compatible editions for 2-3 and 3-6 octaves of handbells and handchimes are available, making this accessible piece playable in massed festival ringing as well as worship or concert, during Christmas and Epiphany.
