Review:
Cathy Moklebust uses singing bell and LV to create a lush and moving arrangement of the 16th century carol, “Lo, How a Rose.” The gentle and ethereal sound of the bells may be accompanied by optional strings, organ, or even electronic keyboard using a string setting. With minimal bell changes and and a relaxed tempo, this flexible, accessible arrangement is sure to become a favorite in the Christmas handbell repertoire. 75 measures in length, this piece is scored in D Major.
