Review:
The North American folk hymn, "What Wondrous Love", was first published around 1838. Because of its textual theme of God’s love, it is appropriate for any time of year, but especially during Lent and Holy Week. Karen Buckwalter has arranged this modal tune for 8 bells with piano accompaniment. An audio accompaniment track is available, if desired. This arrangement has an ethereal, peaceful quality which lifts up the quiet wonder and awe of God’s love. Uses bells C5 to D6.
Also available in the collection
Endless Prayer and Praise (
CGB1213).
