Sondra Tucker has given this favorite hymn new life, scoring it in a lively, rhythmic mix of 7/8, 5/4, and 4/4. The melody shines throughout and is joined by flowing voicings and rhythmic patterns that make this setting dance! Handchimes briefly carry the melody and dynamics add expression. It is basically Rung with a few well-placed plucks and shakes adding to the dynamic ending. This is definitely a must-have title to add to your group’s repertoire for use in worship and concert.
