Deus In Adjutorium (3-5 octaves handbells)

DEUS IN ADJUTORIUM from Vespers (1610) – Claudio Monteverdi/trans. Kevin McChesney – 3-5 octaves handbells with brass sextet and optional organ – Level I+/II-

The sounds of celebration resound in this enduring and wonderful music! The addition of the bells to the original brass/organ score offers an exciting new dimension to this bold, uplifting title. The handbell part is very simple and immediately accessible – after the change in metric feel is understood in a couple of places, the part is straightforward and filled with possibilities for presentation. Marvelous for worship, concert, or festival!
