Review:
"Thy Strong Word" is an 8-Bell arrangement of the hymn tune EBENEZER utilizing bells F#5-G6. May be rung with two people playing 4-in-Hand or four people with 2 bells each. This arrangement begins with the light breaking the darkness and unfolds using eighth note and triplet figures. This piece is available in an alternate key for those who prefer to play the piece with more standard handbell assignment positions (most spaces in the left hand and lines in the right hand) under the title "Thy Strong Word (Alternate Key)". Other common hymn texts associated with this tune are: "O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus"; "To Us All, to Every Nation"; and "Alleluia! Alleluia!".
Permission is granted to the original purchaser of this music to make sufficient copies for their musicians. May not be duplicated for multiple groups.
