This spirited composition on the traditional American melody The Promised Land can be used as a good teaching tool as it employs multiple ringing techniques (TD, Pl or mallets, LV, martellato and shakes). The beginning forte section, written in a minor key, is a lively contrast to the slower middle section in a major key, using bells, chimes and later adding mallets. The piece climaxes to an exciting conclusion with ponderous minor chords. Written for 3-5 Octave Handbells, with opt. 3 Octave Handchimes.

SKU: BP.HB553

For 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 to 5 octaves of handchimes. Rated 3-. A haunting opening featuring singing bell, handchimes, and malleted bells gives way to a flowing set of verses of the hymn tune Union Seminary. Numerous key changes provide varying commentary on the tune, and delicate use of handchimes allow both the melody and counter-melodies to shine through. The piece grows in grandeur and expression before returning to the feeling of the beginning once more. UNION SEMINARY, which this arrangement is based on, is by Harold Friedell.
