CGB1412 My Lord, What a Morning
Description
Greg Fisher joins the Choristers Guild family with a new twist on an old favorite. The opening singing bell chord is evocative of the dawn, and a cascading motif throughout the piece represents "falling stars." The work features contrasting sections: a rhythmic, malleted passage evoking the call to “hear the trumpet sound” that “wakes the nations underground;” a delicate, twinkling line of suspended, malleted bells with the melody carried in the bass; and a glorious Maestoso. With additional techniques including echo and martellato, this unique work offers great educational moments for festivals, and is perfect for general worship, Matins, or Advent.
Voicing: 3-5 octaves handbells and optional 3, 5, 6, or 7 octaves handchimes
