Christ Jesus Lay in Death’s Strong Bands: Fantasy on an Easter Hymn
This arrangement culminates in a triumphant maestoso over a moving bass line and ends with a final Alleluia in D major. 35 octave handbells. Level III.
The arrangement of this ancient Easter hymn begins in a somber, chant-like style with subtle, free-ringing upper bells and low, humming singing bells. From there the piece grows from a simple and straightforward chordal style through the second and third stanzas. It culminates in a triumphant maestoso fourth stanza played over a moving bass line. The arrangement ends with a final “Alleluia” in D major. Scored for 3–5 octave handbells. Level III.
