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.

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).

An optional three, full octaves of handchimes are intermingled with the bells in this original work inspired by Christ's prayer in Gethsemane. The chimes are optional, but extra effort should be made to include them, as they add so much to the contemplative nature of the work. The gamut of Christ's emotions is portrayed through quiet, building, and strong passages. Finally, in the last ten measures, one can almost hear Jesus say, Thy will be done. 81 measures.
