Stanzas one and three are in unison, stanza two can optionally be sung by SATB voices using the standard hymnal harmonization. (These voices could be the choir or just the congregation invited to sing in parts.) Stanza four is unison with optional soprano descant. A festive piece despite the minor key, this arrangement is full of word painting, infectious rhythms, and just plain fun.

Arranged for organ, optional handbells (2 octaves), and congregation, this festive hymn setting of OUIMETTE by John Ylvisaker effectively sets forth the spirit of the text and tune alike. The cantus firmus is accompanied by scaler eighth-note figuration, a cello-like bass, and an optional handbell obbligato in the introduction. Stanza 1 for unison congregation continues with the scaler eighth-note figuration in the organ accompaniment. Optional handbell chords and organ arpeggiation accompany congregational singing in harmony of stanza 2. The concluding Doxological text of stanza 3 is accompanied in a grand manner with fuller organ texture and descant. Appropriate for Baptism and Reaffirmation of Baptism. Includes reproducible pages for congregation and ringers.
