Nearer, My God, to Thee

SKU: BP.HB562

For 3 to 7 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Rated level 3. A mournful minor verse of the Lowell Mason tune gives rise to a hopeful modal version employing unexpected harmonies and propelling eighth notes. Tension builds into a triumphant verse that calms into a peaceful final iteration. A wonderfully expressive choice for throughout the church year.
