Review:
Utilizing windchimes, random ringing, and the technique of “singing bells,” arranger Patricia Cota aptly portrays an ethereal opening to this extremely popular praise song, reflecting the majesty and glory of God. The optional windchimes and handchimes add to the array of creative sounds. Attention to dynamics is vital to gain the necessary contrast in the verses, as the undulant rhythms in the bass give an easy pulse. As the setting builds in complexity, let the choruses ring full with praise to our amazing God! This piece is 83 measures.
