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.

An optional piano part is also available to further augment the sonorities.
