For The Beauty Of The Earth

Uses: General, Thanksgiving

Scripture: Psalm 145; James 1:17

This lovely setting of the beloved hymn, For the Beauty of the Earth, makes an ideal selection for older elementary choirs or anychoir of unison/2-part voices. After singing the traditional DIX tune on stanza 1, a new melody spotlights stanza 2. Congregation then has the opportunity to join the choir on stanzas 3 and 4 with the two melodies partneringtogether on stanza 4. A simple, yet charming flute part provides a nice complement to the piano accompaniment during the song's introduction, interludes, and ending. Available separately: Unison/opt. 2-Part Treble, CelebrationTraxCD. Duration: ca. 3:03
