Six Hymn Preludes

From the exquisitely serene setting of 'More Love to Thee' to the rousing and jubilant 'All Creatures of Our God and King, ' this challenging compilation of Six Hymn Preludes by four-in-hand composer, Douglas Mears, includes an extraordinary variety of favorite hymn arrangements. In 'Holy, Holy, Holy, ' Mears weaves the familiar hymn tune, Nicaea, with a tender, original counter melody, creating a stunning music box effect. Constant tolling of lower bells in 'The King of Love' creates an image of a distant cathedral tower ringing as an accompaniment to the stirring Irish melody St. Cloumba. The perpetual motion of cascading bells in the toccata-like Lasst uns erfreuen brings thisexciting new collection to a stunning climax.
