A Thanksgiving of
American Folk Hymns
"Thanksgiving Day is
one day that is purely American."
- O. Henry
A THANKSGIVING OF
AMERICAN FOLK HYMNS is a visual feast from the rich tradition of music at
Brigham Young University. As the hour long program begins, an early American landscape of
colorful leaves and delicate autumn branches gives way to 400 singers and over a
hundred instrumentalists joined in song. To see them, through windows of faith, is to hear
beloved favorites anew- Shaker hymns, American folk songs, African-American spirituals,
Southern folk hymns, and such classics as Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide and The
Battle Hymn of the Republic. Voices soar, and we see in the faces of fervent young
performers a celebration of the gladness and sorrow that has shaped America- an America we
have been and hope to be.
