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.

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.
