Promised Land

Tunes associated with Leaning on the Everlasting Arms and On Jordan's Stormy Banks combine beautifully in this captivating work for more capable groups. Buoyant rhythmic ostinati on mallets propel the melodies forward, and the use of hand chimes at the meter change provides an added layer of contrast that is most effective. The key and meter changes are easily negotiated at the indicated tempi, and the setting comes to a majestic finale.
