Kevin McChesny’s setting of Gabriel Faure’s enduring classic is absolutely mesmerizing on handbells. The beauty of rung bells is at the forefront, and a musical performance will require paying attention to dynamic changes and ringing with sensitivity. This haunting tune is appropriate for prayerful and meditative times in worship and would also make a good choice for school or community groups looking for classical repertoire.
