Review:
John A. Behnke’s arrangement of the beloved hymn tune BACHOFEN is scored for 3–5 octave handbells. A motif of two martellato chords on beats three and four runs throughout the piece and emphasizes the power of Baptism in our lives, while the addition of the tune JESU, MEINE FREUDE is a wonderful C-minor surprise in the middle as it interacts with the original theme.
