Brother James' AirJ.L. Bain/arr. Michael
Mazzatenta. James Leith Macbeth Bain (1860-
1925) was a Scottish hymn writer who became
known to his peers as Brother James. Michael
Mazzatenta's setting reverently pays homage to
Bain's tune and to the tranquil, comforting Psalm
23, the text with which it is most often paired.
The melody is presented with handchimes over a
soft cacophony of random ringing. Later, creative
imitation of the melody ensues. The piece closes as
it opened, serene and untroubled. This is beautiful
for weddings as well as for worship.
