I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (handbell quartet)

I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS SAY (THOMAS TALLIS’ “THIRD TUNE”) – Third Mode Melody, Archbishop Parker’s “The Whole Psalter Translated Into English Metre, Thomas Tallis/arr. Kay M. Hessemer – handbell quartet

An enduring Thomas Tallis tune and harmonization, this quartet arrangement will give your worship or concert an ancient and meditative flavor. There is no meter given in the original so there is some challenge to counting at first, but this soon becomes intuitive. The melody is in Part 1 for the first section and Part 3 for the second section, giving an added dimension of ensemble to this offering.
