Breathe on Me, Breath of God

Gentle flowing lines and warm harmonic textures create a reflective setting of the hymn tune TRENTHAM. Ideal for worship services or contemplative concert moments, the expressive writing allows intermediate church handbell choirs to shape the melody with warmth and sensitivity. The addition of alternate bells such as Petit Fritsen or Silver Melody bells adds a very effective nuance. In the absence of these bells, standard handbells may be used for these notes. Percussion – including mark tree (bar chimes), triangle or finger cymbals, and gently rolled suspended cymbal – makes this a thoroughly engaging and beautiful work that cannot be adequately described with simple words.
