To Sing God's Praise
NEW BRITAIN
arr. Caleb J. Onstead.
This widely loved hymn tune may have originated as a folk tune
in the early 1800s. It was probably sung "slowly with grace notes
and melodic embellishments." And was included in a collection
of Appalachian tunes in 1829. "Slowly with grace notes" NOT
SO this setting by Caleb Onstead! That happens only in the
first 9 measures, which feature a creative pairing of two melodic
passages in the hymn rung with optional auxiliary bells and
handchimes before the energetic rhythms begin. Time signature
is basically 7/8 with 3/4. 10/8, and 2/4 interspersed. The melody
is Rung throughout the bell and chime ranges and techniques
include mallet on padded table, RT, Sk, mart, mart-lift and LV
perfectly place for maximum musical effect. Ringers will find this
arrangement a fun challenge and audiences will be thoroughly
engaged! This is a must-have' for your moderately skilled group!

arr. Kevin Stewart.

and require confident ensemble coordination. The arrangement

builds to a full and affirming conclusion.
