Written for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 3. Patrick Meyer makes his debut in the Beckenhorst catalog with this upbeat and bouncy original work, suitable for worship or concert use. Set in a lilting six-eight time, the melody moves throughout the ensemble, giving all ringers the chance to shine. The middle section introduces a countermelody in the high treble bells, giving ensembles a chance to work on the balance of parts and musicality. The closing verse returns to the original key for its celebratory conclusion.
