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.
