This Is a Day for Rising (Handbells)

For Eastertide, this anthem of hope and challenge provides a noble gesture that will send hearts and voices soaring with praise. A confident hymnlike theme announces a new day for renewal, restoration and revival! Framed as a call to worship, the verses conclude with a distinctive mixed-meter pattern that overflows with joyful confidence. After a satisfying development section, the main theme returns transformed with a sweeping descant that touches the heights in a celebration of life. Glorious! Score and Parts (tpt 1-2, tbn 1-2, timp) available as a digital download. Part for Handbells (3 oct., 26 bells) also available as a digital download.
