O Lord, We Praise Thee (Morris)
A dance-like arrangement of GOTT SEI GELOBET UND GEBENEDEIET for 3–5 octave handbells, with optional flute and percussion.
A dance-like arrangement by Hart Morris of the 16th-century hymn tune GOTT SEI GELOBET UND GEBENEDEIET for 3–5 octave handbells, with optional flute and percussion (tom-tom and tambourine). Level III. The tempo is not quick, but the sturdy nature of the tune and its shifting meters give it an urgent sense of forward motion, and the optional instruments add emphasis to this feeling. The arrangement employs the use of mallets, and techniques include thumb damp, martellato, and shake, as well as martellato lift and one mallet lift. There are no changes of key, but each of the three stanzas is different: the second being a bit subdued and quieter with the third bringing the piece to a final, emphatic expression of praise. This delightful setting fits perfectly at any celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
