Promised Land Handbell Choir - Digital Sheet Music
The arrangement is for 5, 6, 7, or 8 ringers using two octaves of handbells or handchimes. Assignments are included according to the quantity of ringers, and the piece is Level 2 when played with seven or eight ringers. This piece may also be performed by four- or six- in-hand ensembles without tables.Combining flowing lines with block chords, this arrangement of the familiar hymn tune is reminiscent of a music box. The melody is played both in the bass and the treble lines, and the easy rhythms never advance beyond the eighth note value. Every ringer is kept busy with lots of ringing, LV, some shakes, and minimal accidentals. There are a two "gathering points" where the ringers regain those who are lost or no longer together with the group's rhythm.On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eyeTo Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possession lie.I am bound for the promised land. I am bound for the promised land.Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.– lyrics by Samuel Stennet, 1787The piece has a lovely reoccurring pattern that bridges the verses. There are two verses in all, and each one has a fermata (hold) on the question "Oh, who will come and go with me?"Performance time:• 2 minutes, 30 seconds

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, and cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land, where my possession lie.
I am bound for the promised land. I am bound for the promised land.
Oh, who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land.
– lyrics by Samuel Stennet, 1787
