Review:
Connie Nicholson's "The Cross" dramatically paints a vivid picture of the Crucifixion, with or without the optional narration. This Level 3 setting of the familiar tune "Ah Holy Jesus" for three, four, or five octaves of handbells brings tears to one's eyes with its musical and narrative imagery. It is scored in f minor and is 73 measures.
