Remembering Jim O’Brien Through Music

HANDBELL MUSIC IN MEMORY OF JIM O’BRIEN HAS BEEN PUBLISHED
Four years ago our St. Alban’s parishioner and handbell musician Jim O’Brien died. With the blessing of Jim’s family, the parish used donations in his memory to commission two new handbell pieces from composer Michael Mazzatenta.

The world-premiere performances of “Reflection” and “In Christ There Is No East or West.” were performed at St. Alban’s Church by the handbell choir. These pieces have now appeared in print for other handbell choirs to ring and enjoy. The first page of each bears the dedication “For St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, Tucson AZ, in memory of Jim O’Brien.” We look forward to ringing them again many times as we remember our friend with a smile.
