This strong, lively tune by popular duo Secret Garden is set by Kevin McChesney for handbells, percussion, and violin. Each instrumentalist will need his or her own copy of the instrument part. Featuring lots of mallets and meter changes, the work is challenging yet approachable, as the rhythms are repetitious and not as hard as they first appear. A bold choice for community groups, but could also be used for general worship. Scored in C Major and F Major, this composition is 62 measures.
