Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

This is a straightforward three-stanza setting of LAUDA ANIMA. After the opening fanfare and first stanza, the second stanza is more subdued, employing mallets (or plucking, if desired), a treble-clef melody, and a moving eighth-note bass accompaniment. A brief transition and a modulation from the key of G to C lead to the triumphant final stanza. The arrangement contains ample bell changes to accommodate and complement the hymn's traditional harmonization and sturdy, victorious tune.
