Review:
This enticing setting pairs Level 2 handbells & piano with optional handchimes. From the first chords played by piano and handbells, the listener can see the spacious skies and the amber waves of grain. This beautiful arrangement of the patriotic favorite includes lush harmonies and various techniques and timbres to embody the melting pot of diversity that our country was founded upon. Truly breath-taking. 80 measures. Keys of C Major, F Major, and Ab Major.
