For the Beauty of the Earth—arr. Brian
Childers. This is a beautifully crafted lyric and
sensitive arrangement of this wonderful hymn.
Singing bell and flute (or C-instrument) solo
introduction sets the tone which leads into
chords featuring close harmonies that support
the simple melody, augmented by passing
tones and gentle variations in rhythm. There
are a few stopped sounds, echoes and more
- plus melody in handchimes (3 octaves), all
perfectly placed for maximum effect. Addition
of optional body percussion, windchimes and
rainstick, which are included on the handbell
score, is the icing on this musical cake. This
luscious arrangement will be fulfilling to ring
and inspirational to listeners.
