Alleluia
Based on the tune IN DIR IST FREUDE originally written by Giovanni Gastoldi arranged by Dale Wood for the anthem "Let There Be Singing" and transcribed by William H. Mathis for handbells, this arrangement is alive, truly joyful, and a proclamation of praise to God. Bell changes will be the challenge in this score that clips along at dotted quarter = 52 in 6/8 time. The piece is set in F Major.
