S. Dickson

Thanks Be To God

Thanks be to God is traditional in style and lends itself well to this four-part arrangement with stately chordal accompaniment. Few people know that 'Stanley Dickson' did not write this internationally renowned song of thanks. There was no 'Stanley Dickson. ' It was a pseudonym, one of several used by Australian composer May Brahe to allow publishers to print more of her prodigious output. The only Australian woman composer of international renowninthe first part of the 20th century, May Brahe also penned Bless This House and nearly 500 others.
