I have always loved the melody of the so-called Thanksgiving Hymn, but found the traditional words rather war-like and inappropriate.
I have written a new text. Like the holiday itself, it is secular, and more relevant to the times in which we live.
The setting is for SATB chorus with very occasional divisions a2; it also requires an orchestra of moderate ability. However, if there is enough interest, I would consider creating a new version with organ or piano instead.
Please email me for a perusal score and recording.
Many thanks!
Christopher Marshall
