First performance on 21st April 2013 in Washington National Cathedral by the City Choir of Washington conducted by Robert Shafer.'The ThreeHymns of George Herbert were written after a long illness and represent for me a Hymn of thanksgiving to God for a relative return to health. They are intended to be sung in a large resonant acoustic with the main choir andstring orchestra at one end of the building and an echo choir and string quartet at the other. The percussion (tubular bells gongs and tam-tams) should sound from a gallery or other raised position.The Hymns wereinspired by the transparent poetry of George Herbert and are dedicated in gratitude and love to the memory of Mother Thekla former Abbess of the Orthodox Monastery of the Assumption Normanby near Whitby who died in 2011.' -John Tavener

Here is an original concept from Herb Frombach set to beautiful music by the talented David Lantz. The author has taken the titles of great hymns of faith and crafted a lyric of blessing and praise: “Now we give our praiseand thanksgiving to the Lord our King for His creation of every living thing.” This skillful reminder of the many blessings of our lives could be the quintessential anthem for the season of thanksgiving or for any time agrateful church turns their hearts and minds above. Flowing melodic lines and a sensitive call and response-style counterpoint make this piece easily learned but hard to forget. “Our Many Hymns of Thanks” will touchyour congregation.

The Te Deum Laudamus is a single movement Choral work and was Sullivan’s last completed composition. In one movement the composer moves through all the component parts of the mass drawing them together seamlessly and expressing Sullivan’s own deeply felt faith.Composer Arthur Sullivan is known the world over for his operatic collaborations with W S Gilbert including H M S Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance among many others. But Sullivan was also a composer of many other works among them operas Orchestral works ballets and hymns and church pieces.Among his church works Sullivan is best known for his hymn Onward Christian Soldiers and the theme of that hymn isincorporated in this Te Deum. Sullivan wrote the work on request for a Thanksgiving Service held in St Paul’s Cathedral at the close of the Boer War in South Africa. It received its first performance in 1902 in the presence of King Edward VII and other members of the royal family. That the song of thanksgiving was composed nearly two years before the end of the war perhaps demonstrated Sullivan’s patriotism.
