This masterful choral is one that has connected
with singers and congregations all over the
globe. It is a timeless anthem you'll come back
to each and every year. If you haven't already,
consider the instrumental accompaniment for a
fresh perspective on this gem. Scored for strings,
winds, harp (playable on keyboard), and drums, it
includes instrumental lines that soar as beautifully
as the vocal melody. A multi-generational favorite,
this is a tasteful blend of text and musical
expression. Vintage John Rutter.

Give ThanksHenry Smith/arr. Vicki Tucker
Courtney. A tasteful mixture of the contemporary
with the traditional characterizes this quickly
learned arrangement ideal for stewardship or
Thanksgiving. This well-known worship chorus
adapts well to choral treatment and the welcomed
appearance of the Doxology is a beautiful
moment for choir and congregation. Flute (or
C-instrument) part included.

L
et All Things Give ThanksDon Hart. Several
Thanksgiving tunes and texts have been combined
in this lively anthem. It begins with the familiar
Ash Grove tune set to a well known text, and also
includes a slower, legato statement of We Gather
Together. Finally, a faster All Things Bright and
Beautiful emerges to conclude the piece. Available
parts for flute, oboe, cello, horn and percussion
along with an optional brief narration combine to
make this a truly festive offering.

inspiring Thanksgiving text presented through an
equally endearing original melody, this cheerful

Lord has given your congregation!

l GratitudeNicole Nordeman/arr. Heather
Sorenson. A very evocative and poetic prayer of
need and thanksgiving is found in this current
sacred song. Contending with the deep matters
of "wants" versus "needs" in our petitions to God,
this choral is truly a sermon in song as it explores
the priorities of our hearts.

4 ymn of Abundancearr. Eugene Butler. This
H
traditional Welsh tune is perfect for Thanksgiving
services, but it's also suitable for any time of the
year when a church observes the abundance of
God's love and grace. The accompaniment also
adapts easily to piano or organ.

Bring a Heart of ThanksPepper Choplin.
An anthem of sparkling brightness, this original
conveys a theme that God's people should come
before Him with hearts of thanks and voices of
praise. It features a fresh approach to the choral
texture, which, at times, highlights the soprano
line, backed by support from alto, tenor, and
bass voices. A fitting choice for Thanksgiving
worship or anytime throughout the year when
themes of thanks are present.

Thank You, LordJoseph M. Martin. "Lord
when I think upon the music of my life, your song
of joy, your love songs in the night, I'm filled with
wonder and with praise at the beauty of your grace.
I thank you, Lord." The memorable melody is
brought to life through a personal text which speaks
to any believer. Suitable for services of praise and
thanksgiving this wonderful anthem beautifully
states "Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?"

t Is Good to Give ThanksDan Forrest. A
bright, spirited setting of Psalm 92:1-2,4 this
original anthem is scored for SATB choir, piano
and optional brass quintet and timpani. A powerful
way to begin a service of thanksgiving or any other
occasion of worship and praise where themes
of thankfulness are found.

Todd Syswerda. This dignified, regal anthem is
based on the classic Lowell Mason melody - but
has some nice surprises! Arranger Todd Syswerda
has done an artful job updating this traditional
title. Majestic and worshipful!

Aaron Copland's quintet from "The Tender Land"
translates beautifully into this setting for combined
chorus with band! Although it makes a perfect
choice for Thanksgiving, the wonderful vocal
lines make it a magnificent showpiece any time
of year. The SATB choral part can stand alone,
and offers a piano 4 hands accompaniment. The
optional concert band accompaniment is at the
medium level and requires the choral part for
performance. It's a fantastic way to program music
by a great American composer!

hanks Be to GodDennis C. Allen & Nanette C.
Allen. This Thanksgiving anthem lifts our hearts in
gratitude to the One who made Heaven and Earth
and all the beauty that surrounds us. The lovely
piano accompaniment could almost stand alone and
provides another "voice" to the texture of the music.
The incorporation of For the Beauty of the Earth
adds a note of familiarity that will be welcomed by
your congregation. Thanks be to God!

T
he Thanksgiving TableBrad Nix. The
enigmatic moniker of this anthem suggests a
double meaning and we discover that the Lord's
table is the eternal table of praise and thanksgiving.
Composed in an early American style, this will be
the definitive Thanksgiving communion moment
for churches. The theatrical piano part and the
melodic character of the themes help create
a really unique listening experience. Violin (or
C-instrument) and Bass parts included.

l ejoice! Give Thanks! Celebrate!Joseph
R
M. Martin. Springing from the pages of Scripture,
this anthem evokes a spirit of thanksgiving.
Beginning with a free-formed passage that acts
as a vocal introduction, the anthem eventually
surrenders to a lilting 6/8 theme that has a
memorable contour and gait. The rhythmic energy
of this Celtic-styled choral creates a vibrant call to
praise for any worship service.
