Review:
"This Train Is Bound for Glory" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" are the two spirituals which comprise the setting and includes optional sandblocks as the "choo-choo" sound. The melody moves around from upper to middle to lowers bells, giving all the ringers a go at it. Creative performance notes are given along with ideas for adding special techniques if your choir is up to it. Measures total 69.
