This could function as an easy double-choir piece for a four-octave handbell choir AND a three octave handchime choir. The piece, often called How Great Our Joy (hymn tune ECHO CAROL or JÃœNGST), uses the two choirs to echo back and forth, or it can be played with one bell choir using 4 octaves of bells and 3 octaves of handchimes.

Commi ssioned by a church in Texas for its 125th anniversary, this arrangement of the American folk hymn tune has been set for 3, 4 or 5 octaves of bells. After a short introduction the melody enters in the bass bells with the mid-range bells on chords and the upper bells dancing around with ornamentation. A little later the registers trade textures. A quicker section involves the use of mallets on tabled bells in the lower voices and the upper bells on the melody in octaves. A broad section finishes the work.
