Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen—

provides a steady foundation. If available,
bass clef handchimes (C4-C5) ring the
melody on an inner verse for added texture
and variety. Using LV, echo, martellato,
and shake, this stirring arrangement will
be a memorable addition to concerts and
worship services.
