A refreshing perspective is given to two early American hymns, Marching To Zion and Jerusalem My Happy Home, in this choral tapestry of hope. A buoyant rhythmic pattern in the accompaniment creates a rocking motion that comforts and assures while the choral texturing uses lots of unison and two-part writing for ease of learning. Far from being gloomy, this arrangement is life affirming and filled with the light of God's promise of eternal life.
