Class ic hymn tune, BROTHER JAMES' AIR A memorable earworm countermelody unifies three stanzas of the familiar hymn tune, BROTHER JAMES' AIR. In the middle minor section, the melody moves to the bass against thumb-damped treble chords. Then, the countermelody returns and leads us to a final, triumphant statement. This compelling arrangment assures us that the Lord truly is our Good Shepherd, making it ideal for the Easter season as well as general occasions.

3-4 octave handbells - Grade 3

SKU: BP.HB655

Composed by Matthew Compton. Arranged by Matthew Compton. Octavo. Beckenhorst Press #HB655. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB655).

Written for 3-4 octave handbell choir and 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 3. This stunning original from Matthew Compton is replete with emotion and descriptive storytelling. From a delicate, ethereal opening, the piece moves into a section with flowing accompaniment relying heavily on straight eighths set against triplet eighths. A faster section ensues featuring a soaring melody and unexpected harmonic twists before returning to the feeling of the opening. An altered statement of the theme makes a brief appearance before the piece ends as it began. A truly beautiful and very approachable piece from one of today's up-and-coming composers!

Please note, the recording is of the 5 -7 octave version.
