An Anthem for Thanksgiving

Description

An Anthem for Thanksgiving
William Billings

A robust exclamation of praise and thanksgiving, this anthem is a psalm paraphrase, alternating homophonic and polyphonic textures. The frequent metric changes, most unusual in this period, create an exciting choral song of praise suitable for general use, Thanksgiving, or festival services.A recording of this work is available on Gloriae Dei Cantores 010, “Music of the Americas 1492-1992”.
