SKU: C7.CGB1194

Composed by Alex Guebert. General. Bay View Week of Handbells. With optional 5, 6 or 7 octaves handchimes. Score. 24 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGB1194. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGB1194).

Alex Guebert’s original work, Bulwarkana, is published in our Bay View Week of Handbells Series. The title Bulwarkana is a blending of "bulwark" and "arcana." A bulwark is a fortifying wall. Arcana are mysteries; ancient truths that are not understood. In this piece, the strong and militant blends with the mysterious. Bulwark blends with arcana. (The word bulwark is from German roots; arcana comes from Latin -- another blending.) The briefest glimpses of EIN FESTE BURG (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God) are heard in the opening chorale; the text speaks of God being a bulwark who never fails. Near the end, the final strain of EIN FESTE BURG is proclaimed boldly: "His kingdom is forever!" How can we understand the ancient battle between God and the devil? The mysteries are profound.
