Review:
"A Glorious Light Have Seen" is an 8-Bell arrangement of the hymn tune LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN utilizing bells F5-G6. It may be rung by two people playing 4-in-Hand or four people in a small ensemble with 2 bells each. The eighth notes give this bright arrangement its festive sound. The 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 "A Glorious Light Have Seen (Alternate Key)". The hymn texts most commonly associated with this tune are: "The People That in Darkness Sat" (Epiphany), "Let All Together Praise Our God" (Christmas), and "O Happy Day When We Shall Stand". All notes are rung and no tables are needed.
Permission is granted to the original purchaser of this music to make sufficient copies for their musicians. May NOT be duplicated for multiple groups.
