Publisher Desc.  This fresh, imaginative setting breathes new life into this African American spiritual. In the first section, the steady rhythmic pattern of the bass bells provides a dynamic contrast to the slowly shifting harmonies that backdrop the melody. The second section then uses the melody to divide the higher and lower bells into separate rhythmic groups. After repeating the first section, it ends with a final joyful punctuation of sound. For Handbells or Chimes.
