Review:
Combining William Bradbury's familiar hymn, "Jesus Loves Me," with the less familiar "Swedish Folk Tune," this short, simple 3-5 octave arrangement may be played on bells alone, handchimes alone or on a combination of the two. Verses 1 and 3 have an arpeggiated LV accompaniment over which the melody is rung with simplicity and warmth. In the 2nd verse, the melody is in the middle and lower bells (rung on handchimes or bells) while the treble accompaniment figure is either softly rung or played with mallets on suspended bells.
