Review:
"On This Day Earth Shall Ring" (also known by the tune name, PERSONENT HODIE) is a delightful setting of the familiar 16th-century tune. The harmonic treatment is reminiscent of the era of the tune's origin. This energetic setting utilizes articulations including mallets, thumb damps, marts, and mart lifts. The interesting dynamic and harmonic changes make this setting fun to ring at Christmas time. Published in compatible editions for 2-3 and 3-5 octaves, this arrangement is also included in the collection
I Heard the Bells.
