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.

Holiday Classic A joyous bell peal leads to the first iteration of the theme before moving into a more flowing verse accompanied by delicate mallets on treble handbells. An optional dark and dissonant verse (which portrays one of the lesser-known stanzas of the Longfellow poem) gives way to a verse in minor before a triumphant return to major to depict the lyrics, Then pealed the bells more loud and deep/God is not dead, nor doth he sleep... An exciting and beautiful addition to your holiday worship or concert.
