Review:
"How Good, Lord, To Be Here" is an 8-Bell arrangement of the hymn tune POTSDAM using bells G5-G6. It may be rung by two people playing 4-in-Hand or four people in a small ensemble with 2 bells each. An excellent piece for Transfiguration Sunday, this piece incorporates triplets, eighth notes, and the swing technique to paint a sense of growing awe. Also available in an alternate key for those who prefer to play the piece with more standard handbell assignment positions (spaces in the left hand and lines in the right hand) under the title "How Good, Lord, To Be Here (Alternate Key)". 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.
