Proclamation of Gratitude [HL:35029736]

Uses: Thanksgiving, Service Music, General Worship

Scripture: I Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 12:28, Psalms 100:1-5

A festive flourish for Thanksgiving or general use, this clarion call is an effective service opener. A keyboard opening sweeps up into a climbing passage using the lead motive from “For the Beauty of the Earth.” This energizing crescendo ends in a noble, original theme. An a cappella section adds contrast and the final carillon-like canon is inspired. Impressive! 3-octave handbell part included.
