A classic treatment of this famous four note tune creates drama and a rousing conclusion.   The construction of the arrangement is in sonata form with a complete “development”  section and a brilliant coda.  One of our favorite titles among handbell choirs and orchestras.

There are two versions of this arrangement, one for handbells and orchestra and one for orchestra alone.
