Review:
Based on the hymn tune, ST. ANNE (most commonly known as "O God Our Help In Ages Past"), this setting is for bells, organ and SATB choir. There are also notes scored for an optional G2 handbell. One interesting feature is a treatment of the tune in alternating meter--6/8 to 4/4. This work provides a good opportunity to involve handbells in a bigger ensemble. Set in C Major and f minor, this piece is 105 measures.
