Sondra K. Tucker has set the hymn "O God, Our Help In Ages Past" for three to five octaves of handbells, organ and/or brass quintet and timpani (BP.HB379B), and congregational singing, in her arrangement of Festival Concertato on "St. Anne." The sprightly introduction gives way to a majestic arrangement of the hymn tune before the congregation comes in to sing. During the choral portion, suggested voicings and accompaniments are provided to add extra aural interest. Use this piece in a general worship service, or to pull out all the stops for an Easter Sunday service.
3-5 octave handbell part, level 3-.
