For 3 to 6 octave handbell choir and optional 2 octaves of handchimes. Rated level 4. Ron Mallory's original piece works well not just in concert, but also as a non-traditional choice for Easter Sunday service, or any other celebratory time during the church year. A driving, syncopated melody -- at first lightly accompanied, then propelled by malleted bells -- gives way to a gentler, reflective middle section with a melody on chimes. The initial idea returns at the end to bring the piece to a final, triumphant conclusion. A fun piece both to ring and hear!

3-6 octaves - level 3, optional 2 octaves of handchimes - At times both rhythmically- and harmonically-off-kilter, this arrangement gives voice to the feeling of loss and confusion associated with the Lenten season. Through a contemplative middle section making use of the echo technique, the piece rises to a triumphant, major iteration of the theme signaling the victory of Easter morning.

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.
