CGB688 Sheep May Safely Graze
Description
This gently flowing music is based on one of Bach's most beautiful, haunting tunes. It is often heard as a choral anthem or a vocal or organ solo. With the constant ringing of solid chords building to a crescendo in the middle section, the use of a few techniques such as TD, mallets, or SK (with vibrato when rung by handchimes) are sprinkled throughout to reach a forte climax. The piece then closes with a more subdued ending.
Voicing: 2 or 3 octaves, handbells or handchimes
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750
Arranger: Sharon Elery Rogers
Level: 2
