"Beach Spring" is an old American hymn-tune usually attributed to B. F. White, the co-editor of the music collection The Sacred Harp. Among the hymns that use this tune are "Lord, Whose Love Through Humble Service" and "Wash, O God, Our Sons and Daughters." The melody of the tune itself is pentatonic though many harmonizations end up disguising this.
This particular arrangement by Mark Lewis actually embraces the pentatonic aspects of the melody and extends them throughout the harmony as well, causing the piece to require a 10 bell ensemble which is rather unusual and easiest to realize with five players.
The time signature also is modified throughout the piece, starting in 8/4, moving through 7/4, and ending up in 6/4 which is basically the 3/2 time signature usually associated with the tune. By feeling the whole piece in variations of a "Three Pattern" the tempo marking of quarter-note = 200 is actually much more reasonable than it would first appear.
Season: General
Range: Eb5-C7
