In The Cross of Christ (3-5 octaves handbells)

IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST – arr. Alan Lohr – 3-5 octaves handbells – Level IV

One can almost hear the “rat-ta-tat” on the snare drum through the malleted, 16th-quarter note motif the arranger uses in the beginning section of this hymn arrangement. Later the melody is presented on top of tall chords with eighth-note accompaniment underneath.
