Format : Vocal Score
Everest Charles W.-The southern folk harp tradition is full of inspirational melodies. Here Jonathan Shippey sets one of these melodies for two-part mixed voices with piano and optional hammered dulcimer (though it works fine without the dulcimer). Be creative it's worth it!

Based on hymns by Freeman Lewis & Daniel Teasley. Commissioned for the 2020 Handbell Musicians of America Area 5 Spring Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, this piece starts open and stately before launching with rhythmic energy into a Bluegrass-infused toe-tapper. It brilliantly pairs the Freeman Lewis hymn tune BOURBON (I Take My Refuge in the Lord) with a Daniel Teasley hymn of similar assurance. Marts, mallets, plucks, ring-touches and more are sure to excite your concert audiences and congregations alike; and the optional band (fiddle, tambourine, bass, and guitar/mandolin/banjo) may be added in any combination for extra charm!.
