Review:
Michael Glasgow brings a lush and beautifully elegant treatment to "Jesus Loves Me". This reflective and prayerful setting is a departure from the jauntier feel often associated with the tune. Scored for 2-3 and 3-6 octaves, the arrangement is designed like Glasgow's "Trust and Obey" (
MRRBL5052)– both octave versions are provided in the same score and may be played separately or together.
Now in its revised second printing with an improved antiphonal bracket system for festival use, pair it with the exquisite chamber orchestration (OP5055) or the gorgeous keyboard part (BP5055). The full score (FS5055) is used when playing with bells and piano only. This staple of the handbell repertoire is an accessible Level 2+, perfect for worship or festival. 49 measures in length and written in C Major.
The Chamber Orchestra set (OP5055) contains parts for flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, F horn, percussion 1 & 2, keyboard (identical to BP5055), harp, violin 1 & 2, viola, cello, double bass, and synthesizer (string reduction to substitute for strings).
