Review:
This hymn is one of the most beloved, stoic and strong hymns by Martin Luther. Along with optional trumpet, it declares the absolute power of God and was a rallying cry for the Reformation. In this 3-6 octave handbell version, with 3 octaves optional handchimes and trumpet, the composition takes you progressively through the Christian journey and ends with a triumphant strong verse of comfort and strength. It is perfect for celebrations, festivals and concerts…A “barn burner”! The instrumental product includes parts for both C and B-flat instruments. It is 89 measures and is scored in C Major.
