Review:
"Thy Strong Word (Alternate Key)" is an 8-Bell arrangement of the hymn tune EBENEZER utilizing bells E5-F6. It may be rung with two people playing 4-in-Hand or four people in a small ensemble with 2 bells each. The arrangement begins with the light breaking the darkness and unfolds using eighth note and triplet figures. This arrangement allows a quartet to ring with standard position assignments (most spaces in the left hand and lines in the right hand). An alternate key version is available under the title "Thy Strong Word" that uses bells F#5-G6. Other common hymn titles associated with this tune are: "O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus"; "To Us All, to Every Nation"; and "Alleluia! Alleluia!".
