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).

The handbell setting of Mozarts Gloria from the 12th Mass incorporates both the SATB anthem material and the instrumental accompaniment. Ringers need to differentiate between notes that are part of the melodic choral material and notes that are part of accompaniment passages and interludes. Mozarts ornamentation has been written out for ease of interpretation and performance. Careful damping in scale passages is important, but broken-chord accompaniment passages may be treated as LV passages. 3, 4, 5, or 6 octaves.
