This could function as an easy double-choir piece for a four-octave handbell choir AND a three octave handchime choir. The piece, often called How Great Our Joy (hymn tune ECHO CAROL or JÃœNGST), uses the two choirs to echo back and forth, or it can be played with one bell choir using 4 octaves of bells and 3 octaves of handchimes.
