The stalwart and stately hymn tune, ST. GEORGE’S WINDSOR, is any ideal choice for any Thanksgiving service or time of celebration. This engaging arrangement begins with a majestic introduction that returns as an interlude and also as a glorious ending. The melody moves throughout all octaves. A sprinkling of handbell techniques as well as a waltz-like middle section add interest for both ringers and listeners. This will be a welcome addition to your Thanksgiving library.
