Serve the Lord with Gladness

A bright fanfare launches this energetic original work before giving way to a lilting melody that shifts between 6/8 and 3/4, supported by malleted bass lines and flowing inner textures. Scored for 3–7 octave handbells and handchimes, the arrangement incorporates martellato, martlifts, malleting, and contrasting lyrical chime passages, building to a full, resonant finish that makes it a sparkling choice for advanced ensembles in concert or worship settings.
