Let Us Give Thanks!

By Michael Barrett and Brad Nix

A singular song of thanksgiving, this lightly rhythmic offering is seasoned with a tasteful jazz syntax. The theme in minor is an easy sing and well-balanced with unison and fuller harmonies. Displaying a spirit of gratitude for the blessings of life, this piece is usable any time of the church year. A special moment occurs when the early American hymn tune RESTORATION appears joined with the lyrics of “Come Ye Thankful People, Come.”
