Necessity proved to be the mother of invention for this arrangement.

 

A fledgling group of handbell ringers were tasked to present a musical work in celebration of World Communion Sunday…observed annually around the world on the first Sunday in October. Unable to find a suitable piece, Matt combined “Let Us Break Bread Together” and “One Bread, One Body” to create this medley for handbell quartet with piano accompaniment.

​

The work was created during Matt’s 30+ year career as Director of Music within the church world. He often composed or arranged for the handbell choirs he directed.
