Original Composition This festive, original composition from Hart Morris is a celebrative piece that makes extensive use of mart-lift and mallets throughout. Though the middle section calms somewhat, the tempo does not change as the more mellow sounds of handchimes enter, surrounded by brief mallet and thumb damp passages. This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.

Hymn tune Once again, Arnold Sherman has collaborated with pianist Joel Raney on this energetic setting of Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, for 3-6 octaves. Originally arranged for piano, Arnold has adapted Joel's setting for handbell choirs. The fresh harmonic structure and repeated rhythmic ideas work wonderfully on handbells. The use of mart sounds and big, thick chords is offset by a more legato and augmented melody in the dynamic mid-section.
