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.

Sondra Tucker enhances the Latin rhythms of a traditional South American Christmas Carol via gentle martellatos and ornamental lines in thirds, reminding us of a bright but quiet trumpet duet in a Mariachi band. A lullaby in a minor key has a joyous shift to major for the refrain. This shift is a characteristic of Spanish and Cuban folksongs (guajira.) Fresh, accessible, and fun to ring.
