Based on the early American tune LAND OF REST, this lively and varied arrangement features themes of joy and happiness that are obvious in the introduction and first stanza, with the use of dancing, staccato rhythms. The second stanza is more flowing in style, and the third features a four-part round with flute, cello, optional handchimes, and the singing bell technique. The final stanza is full and glorious and includes a soaring flute descant. Instrumentation: Score and Parts for Fl., Cello, Perc.
Voicing: 3, 4, 5 octaves handbells with optional 3 octaves handchimes, flute, violincello, and percussion
