Based on the hymn tune NICAEA, this big, bold, and bright arrangement was written for the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Kokomo Handbell Festival in Indiana. Bells, organ, and timpani trade flourishes and grand statements of praise throughout the work, with handbells ringing a solo section 2/3 of the way in it. This fanfare-style piece is set in C Major and is 109 measures.
