From there the piece grows from a simple and straightforward chordal style through the second and third stanzas. It culminates in a triumphant maestoso fourth stanza played over a moving bass line. The arrangement ends with a final 'Alleluia' in D major. Scored for 3 - 5 octave handbells. Level III.
