Featuring the choirs and orchestra of Brigham Young University.

Produced in 1994, A Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns is still being presented year-round by over 200 PBS-affiliated television stations.The program features arrangements of beautiful hymn melodies in stunning performances that leave audiences profoundly moved and inspired.

"The entire BYU music Dept worked very hard at preparing and presenting this outstanding setting of American folk hymns, sung effortlessly with sensitivity and heartfelt emotion. The vocal & instrumental arrangements are superb, especially Ronald Staheli's 'How Can I Keep From Singing?' & Mack Wilburg's inspiring setting of 'Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing' which still moves me to tears! Every minute of this performance is delivered with a beautiful simplicity and ease of vocal production which really enhances the music & lyrics. This recording is also available on VHS, which is equally as moving as the CD, if not more. Watch for it on PBS!!! "
