Review:
Lee has crafted a unique and engaging setting of the wonderful William B. Bradbury hymn tune SOLID ROCK. The dynamic and intense beginning features malleted bass notes, a treble line with accents, and dynamics which impart a feeling of angst that many may feel when the going gets tough and it seems the troubles and pain are unrelenting. Singing bell, LV, and mallet roll techniques add to the overall impact of this work. The tension gradually abates through lovely flowing passages that segue into a lyrical setting of the hymn. This is wonderfully inspiring music that will speak to ringers and audiences alike in a most meaningful way.
