The Solid Rock (3-5 Octaves)

Using mallets and a compound meter, Patricia Hurlbutt gives a Celtic flare to this well-known gospel song. The bass notes even get the melody as the upper bells TD in a little jig before they take back over with an elongated melodic line. Fun to play and engaging to listen to, this colorful arrangement is suitable for services and concerts throughout the year. 78 measures.
