How Beautiful

On my blogs I have a widgett called feedjit that tells me how people come to my blogs. It's kind of interesting to see how people from all over the world end up on some of my blogs.

I was just looking at my worship blog Hilldale's Worship Blog and saw that someone had googled "rev lyndel littleton" and I was curious to see what came up, so I clicked on it. Mostly there were posts from my blogs. But there was one that looked like this - Bulletin 6-27-201 - ONEderful

So of course I had to click on it. It turns out that it was the Sunday bulletin for the traditional service at First Baptist Church, Augusta, GA. They were observing the Lord's Supper that morning and as they passed out the cups they played my arrangement of "How Beautiful" by Twila Paris.

It's always nice to see that someone has played one of my pieces. This is a nice arrangement (if I say so myself) so if you have handbells you should check it out. You can get it from Jeffers Handbell Supply. 1-800-JHS-BELL

Review: Twila Paris' beautifully crafted melody is combined with Lyndel Littleton's skill at setting it for handbells in this 3, 4, or 5 octave setting. The beauty shines through gently syncopated accompaniment, playful staccato technique at just the right place, and shimmering mallets on suspended treble bells. Make the text available to your listeners for greater effect. 130 measures.
