CGB1294 Jesus and the Children (3-5 Octaves)
Description
Three favorite children’s hymns are featured in this medley for 3, 4, or 5 octaves of handbells and optional handchimes. A gentle, flowing rendition of “Jesus Loves Me” opens the medley with graceful LV eighth note lines and rich chords, followed by a verse played with handchimes. “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” is next, played in a lilting style including plenty of chordal nostalgia. “Jesus Love the Little Children” concludes the arrangement in a march style, with malleted bass chords and dotted eighth and sixteenth rhythms in the treble. This delightful piece is appropriate for baptism, and any time the focus is on children.
Voicing: 3, 4 or 5 octaves handbells and optional 3, 4 or 5 octaves handchimes
