Review:
Three favorite children's hymns are featured in this medley for 3, 4, or 5 octaves of handbells and optional handchimes. A gentle, flowing rendition of "Jesus Loves Me" opens the medley with graceful LV eighth note lines and rich chords, followed by a verse played with handchimes. "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus" is next, played in a lilting style including plenty of chordal nostalgia. "Jesus Love the Little Children" concludes the arrangement in a march style, with malleted bass chords and dotted eighth and sixteenth rhythms in the treble. This delightful piece is appropriate for baptism, and any time the focus is on children.
