Review:
John Ness Beck's SATB choral score has a new 3-5 octave handbell accompaniment that may be played alone with the voices or in combination with the original keyboard part (it is a half-step lower, so extra work would be involved). This piece is based on the hymns
"I AM THINE" by William Doane and
"I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN" a traditional American folk melody. The expressive tempo, simple rhythms, few bell changes, and familiarity with the hymns should lend this piece easy to work up for worship.
