Larry Shackley has set the early American folk tune, LAND OF REST, in a happy, up-tempo manner that appropriately conveys this joyful text about heaven. A fun piano part supports the well-crafted choral parts throughout. The third verse provides rhythmic interest by lengthening the melody and adding some syncopation. The last stanza takes on a majestic quality and ends with an exciting fortissimo. A cheerful flute part completes the piece and is included.Minimum purchase of ten (10) copies on download anthems.
