On This Day Earth Shall Ring (SSAATTBB)

A vigorous setting of personent hodie scored for SATB (with significant divisi), organ, and handbells. It journeys through several keys, includes a robust “verse” for organ alone, and goes out in a blaze of glory on a sustained final chord with first sopranos on high C, and everyone else singing near the top of their range!
