Visions and Praise

This piece is a fantasia combining two very familiar hymns: "Be Thou My Vision" and "All Creatures of My God and King."  The piece can be played without handbells and is very fine sounding standing by itself.  But, if handbells or handchimes are available, they will add a wonderful new element to this piece.  The handbell part is well cued in the woodwinds.

Composer:  Jorge E. Garcia

Price:  $40.00

Performance Notes: 

The piece utilizes 4/4 to 6/4 meters throughout stays in Db Major.  At letter C the running high woodwind part is challenging as is the tutti section at letter D where the two hymns are presented on top of each other.  The Snare Drum part is particularly interesting for the rudimental drummer as is in all of Dr. Garcia’s works.

Performance Level:  Grade 3

Performance Time:  4:35 minutes
