O Thou Joyful

The hymn tune Sicilian Mariners is the basis for this arrangement for handbell choir and keyboard.  Texts associated with this tune include O be joyful and also Lord, dismiss us with your blessing.  There is an appealing dialogue between instruments in this piece and colorful decorations of the melodic line.  Several changes of key also add interest.  The keyboard part will be more appropriate for piano than organ.  This is a good ring of praise for church or concert.  The full score and handbell parts are sold separately.
