About This Collection
Description
Mark Hayes and Andy Beck dominate this small but focused collection of Thanksgiving choral music, with arrangements that work across a range of choir sizes and skill levels. Simple Gifts by Mark Hayes in SATB voicing is the perennial favorite here, alongside Andy Beck's multiple settings of Over the River, which come in 2-part, 3-part mixed, and other voicings. All ten titles include recorded accompaniments, and most are available in both octavo and digital formats, making them practical for rehearsal and performance. These are working pieces that choirs actually sing year after year.
Highlights
Teachers keep returning to Mark Hayes' Simple Gifts: SATB Choral Octavo, which has proven reliable across seasons. Andy Beck's Over the River in 2-part voicing is equally popular and gives directors a flexible option for younger or less experienced singers. Both composers offer multiple voicings of their Thanksgiving arrangements, so you can program the same tune across different ensemble configurations.
