Eternal Father Strong to Save

Programmatic in nature, this arrangement uses descending and ascending chromatics to imitate the undulation of the sea. Choirs may employ the singing bowl technique to sustain the lower bells or, alternatively, use the mallet roll. The melody is presented in three ways: first delicately with handchimes; then driving, accompanied by malleting; and finally in a bold full chorale style with embellishments, ending quietly with the chromatic sea motif.
