William Payn is recognized as one of the finest contemporary composers of handbell music. This is a classic William Payn piece and will be a welcomed addition to the handbell repertoire. The piece begins with a brisk eighth note pattern in both treble and bass bells and is followed by the introduction of a theme presented in the bass bells. The theme is developed and moves through three key changes before giving way to a peaceful middle section. Both themes are combined in the finale. A challenging piece well worth the work. For church or concert use. 5 octaves (58 bells).

Performance Notes: The handbell arrangements in this collection have been composed for use specifically with the We Celebrate hymnal published by WLP. The hymn tunes used, as well as their harmonizations, are commonly found in same form in many hymnals. The bell peal is intended to be used as part of an introduction to the hymn. The pattern may be repeated as many times as necessary, and is to be followed by an organ/instrumental introduction that leads to the singing of the hymn. The peal could be rung from a stationary position, or could be a processional (movement) by a small group of ringers. For processionals, parts enter from lowest to highest, or in any preferred order. Each part may be repeated as needed before the next part enters. The final chord is rung together when the procession is completed.
