l God is Our Refuge and StrengthAnna Laura
Page. God Is Our Refuge and Strength is an original
handbell setting that references Psalm 46. It opens
with a flourishing, rhythmic introduction that recurs
throughout the piece, offering opportunities to
teach ringers precision and musicianship. A center
section, based on the fourth verse of the Psalm,

is a river whose streams make glad the city of
God." After a return to the beginning material, the
piece builds to an exciting, uplifting conclusion that
makes it appropriate for festive occasions. Optional
parts for flute, trumpet, SATB choir, children's
choir and piano are delightful additions that greatly
enhance the whole performance.
