Review:
“O Sacred Head Now Wounded”, also known as the Passion Chorale, is set here for 8 or 10 handbells with optional keyboard. Arrangers Mitchell and Sandra Eithun capture Christ's painful journey to the cross with dissonant chords and varied dynamics. Written in the key of b-flat minor, this piece uses bells from Db5 to Db6, with Eb6 and F6 being optional.
