Medley for Thanksgiving
Sondra K. Tucker.
Lots of fun techniques make this lively setting
perfect for festive worship. Beginning with a
rhythmic, malleted bass pattern that supports
the
KREMSER melody line, the second verse then
changes character with a descending four-
note pattern with echoes supporting the tune
THE ASH GROVE. The final verse merges both
accompanimental patterns with a return to the
first tune. It's a great festival piece too, and ringers
will enjoy the extended malleting sections.
