Festival Prelude on Deo Gracias

Here is a most impressive setting of a 15th century hymn tune, chiefly associated with the Transfiguration hymn Oh Wondrous Type! Oh Vision Fair. Sweeping eighth-note countermelodies and octave doublings give this arrangement the feel of a large organ or orchestral work. With an important section for low bells (optional chimes) and a massive statement of the final verse, this will give every ringer and listener a glimpse of the sublime in a live performance.
