3, 4, or 5 octaves Handbells with optional 3 octaves Handchimes - Level 2

Composed by J. L. Macbeth Bain and arranged by Michael Mazzatenta.

Scripture: Psalm 23.

James Leith Macbeth Bain, 1860-1925, was a Scottish hymn writer who became known to his peers as Brother James. Michael Mazzatenta's setting reverently pays homage to Bain's tune and to the tranquil, comforting Psalm 23 the text to which it is most often paired. The melody is presented with handchimes over a soft cacophony of random ringing. Later creative imitation of the melody ensues. The piece closes, as it opens: serene and untroubled. This is a beautiful piece for weddings, as well as worship.
