Review:      A soulful spiritual journey, “Here’s One - 1” wraps the listener in a warm embrace of reverence and calm assurance – for 3-5 oct. L3+ (with opt. C5-C7 Bell Tree (Med. Diff.) or C/Bb instrument). Kath Wissinger’s light but masterful touch of bluesy jazz will delight ringers and audience alike. Rich tonalities of Bb minor (5 flats) and C minor (3 flats) and a slow, steady tempo enhance light swing eighth notes and a few straight-rhythm measures. The optional part adds a counter-melody and more depth. Originally commissioned by Wilson Van Tine as a Bell Tree solo in support of Handbell Musicians of America, “Here’s One” works beautifully for expanded Copper and Bronze ensembles as well. Compatible scores include: 1) Solo Bell Tree/Piano w/opt. Bb/C instr or bell tree (RE5021BTR), 2) Solo Voice/Piano w/opt. Bb/C instr or bell tree (this bell tree part is different) (RE7530VR), 3) Level 4+ 5-7 oct. full ensemble (opt. chimes) (RE80352) – plus - 4) a Director’s Score for the L3+ and L4+ scores (RE8035D). With the choice of two full-ensemble levels and 3 to 7 octaves in range, in addition to the beautiful scoring, “Here’s One” is a strong candidate for festivals featuring Copper and/or Bronze groups, as well as for worship settings and concerts. Part of the True Music series from ringTrue – well-crafted music for concert, worship and festival.
