Description:
Few composers other than Alice Parker seem to give such seminal attention to words before letting a melody (or single note) pop into their heads.
Fred Pratt Green’s text serves as the seed of Alice’s creation in this cheerful, flowing thanksgiving anthem for 2-part voices with a separate part for the assembly to chime in on “Thanks be to God” like “one-note Johnnys!”
Budding composers take note. Choir directors study this little piece and put it to the test! A separate 4-part hymn version is also included.
This edition may be performed as a suite of five pieces: Rejoice, the Lord Is King!, For the Fruit of All Creation, O Sing the Glories, Destructive Sword! and God Is Love.
Includes SATB hymn version
