The original choir piece behind this arrangement features two equal choirs singing the same material a half measure apart. Here, you can bring the same effect using handbells and optional keyboard. To maintain the echo effect in this transcription, the handbell ensemble should be softer than the keyboard. The dynamics are indicated to reflect this intent.
Dynamics may also need to be adjusted to account for (1) differences in timbre and (2) physical placement of the piano or organ in relation to the handbells. Another option is to have the piece performed by two handbell ensembles each playing the handbell score a half measure apart. In this case, the keyboard score would not be played.
39 measures. Key of D Major.
