Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land

Review:      This African American spiritual, WEARY LAND, has been arranged in a bluesy, swing style for 3 or 5 octaves of handbells and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Perfect during Lent or anytime during the year, this level 4 arrangement will challenge ringers with frequent accidentals and syncopated rhythms. For extra sparkle and rhythm, feel free to add a light drum set or cajón improvisation. This jazzy setting with its walking bass line will have your congregation or audience tapping their toes and snapping their fingers!
