Review:
This setting of Johann Cruger's melody opens with a combination of an eighth-note ostinato in the mid-range bells mixed with sounds similar to a bell tower on the melody. Later, syncopation, accented by mart-lifts, adds to the energy and excitement that last through the final 76th measure. This arrangement is primarily scored in D Major.
