The piece uses a lot of imitation and hocket devices to keep the players and listeners all rejoicing.

I Would Not Be Denied
A percussion quintet score for bells, tambourine, snare drum, tom-toms, and bass drum. The theme is presented in the bells- often in duet lines. The other instruments tend to work in tandem as supporting roles using changes in dynamics for interest. There are times when the accompanying parts modify their rhythms so as to not become stagnant. The middle section acts like a break-up strain, much like one would find in a march. The piece finishes with a flourish giving great impact.
