This new collection of Thanksgiving and Harvest hymns contains all your favorites, or at least, most of them. It’s probably all you’ll ever need for thanksgiving and harvest festivals and the arrangements can be used for virtually any combination of stringed instruments. This is an essential title for any string library or for any string ensembles that are called upon to provide music for schools, Thanksgiving events or churches.
The arrangements can be used with string quartet, string quintet or string ensemble or performed as solo pieces. There’s also an optional but useful simplified keyboard part intended for less experienced keyboard players. The piano part too means that you can use the arrangements as solos, duets or trios. These arrangements are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used as interludes in a service, or they could be used to accompany solo, choral or congregational singing. To make the music accessible to less experienced string players, the range of the notes has been kept fairly low so that many of the arrangements can be played in first position. However, to produce a brighter and richer sound, a few of the more experienced violinists could play an octave higher. You could also use the arrangements as flute or oboe solo pieces, with the wind instrument playing the 1st violin part. Each hymn has a four-staff score and parts are provided for Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello and optional Double bass. The scores and all the parts are contained in a single PDF file. Because string-friendly keys are used, these arrangements are NOT compatible with those in the wind collection of the same name.
The following 25 hymns are included: All Creatures of our God and King (Lasst uns Erfreuen); As the Sun doth Daily Rise (Innocents); All Things Bright and Beautiful (Bright and Beautiful); Bringing in the Sheaves (Sowing in the Morning); Come Ye Thankful People Come (St George’s Windsor); Fair Waved the Golden Corn (Holyrood); Fill your Hearts with Joy and Gladness (Ode to Joy); For the Beauty of the Earth (Dix); For the Fruits of His Creation (Ar Hyd y Nos); Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken (Austrian Hymn); Immortal, Invisible (St Denio); Let all Things now Living (Ash Grove); Let us with a Gladsome Mind (Monkland); Now Thank we all Our God (Nun danket); Praise and Thanksgiving (Bunessan); Praise God for the Harvest (Stowey); Praise my Soul the King of Heaven (Lauda anima); Praise to the Lord the Almighty (Lob den herren); Rejoice the Lord is King (Darwall’s 148th); Sing to the Lord of Harvest (Wie lieblich ist der maien); This is my Father’s World (Terra Beata); To thee, O Lord, our Hearts we Raise (Golden Sheaves); We Gather Together (Kremser); We Plough the Fields and Scatter (Wir pflügen) and Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow (Old Hundredth)
