CGB239 I Was Glad (Handbell Score)
Description
This stirring anthem based on Psalm 122 sounds difficult but is easier than it sounds. Children's voices imitate the adult sopranos in the opening and closing sections in a quasi Renaissance style supported by large blocked chords played by handbells and organ. The more elaborate middle section is sung primarily by the adult choir and features interesting rhythmic inflections and colorful key relationships.
Voicing: 3 or 4 octaves handbells
Composer: K. Lee Scott
Level: 1+
