I Love to Tell the Story

Known for his arrangements of American hymn tunes, Robert Lau's setting of I Love to Tell the Story is beautifully transcribed for handbells. Mostly rung with LV passages and perfectly-placed shakes, the setting begins with sonorous singing bells and LV bells in the treble supporting handchimes ringing the verse, which then moves to bells ringing the chorus. A legato and introspective second verse moves to a glorious and thrilling final chorus. Those familiar with the words of this hymn are sure to be silently singing along with this setting, as it remains true to the original hymn.
