Promised Land is a serious-sounding, new piece for the developing band that sounds much more difficult than it plays, allowing your students to show off while remaining at their ability level. The title has its roots in the ideals of John Humphrey Noyes, who founded the Oneida community in the late 1840s. He built a thriving agricultural and spiritual community that became his “promised land.” The music depicts the struggles and triumph of those first settlers in the area, who worked the land and fought for their ideals through much persecution. Promised Land contains all of the rhythmic interest and memorable motives that Sean's music is so known for. It is also an excellent choice for contest/festival.

America - The sweet land of liberty: Home to a people who long to experience life to the fullest; home to a people willing to offer and endure what freedom demands. In the aftermath of the senseless and appalling terrorist attacks on Oklahoma City, New York City and Washington D.C., we are once again reminded that just as the benefits of freedom touch all of our lives, so does the cost. As valiant as our efforts are to defend all that we hold dear, we are now more aware than ever, that it takes Divine intervention to give us the wisdom and the courage to protect all that we hold sacred. This is a nation that boldly proclaims her trust in God. We are sustained in the present and assured of the future by the proof of the past. God has blessed America; God does watch over His children; God will lead His people. We hold to this truth: the temporal and vulnerable will soon give way to the Immortal and Invincible... There is a sweet land of liberty yet to come, a homeland that will never be corrupted or diminished by hatred and fear. It is a promised land made possible by a just and gracious God - the One true God: the God of all that was, the God of all that is, the God of all that will be. Great is His love; Great is His care; Great is His faithfulness.

Superb for contest, honor choirs and festivals! Available separately: 3-Part Mixed, 2-Part, VoiceTrax CD. Duration: ca. 2:40.
