Over 500 performers from BYU combine in a concert celebration of beloved American folk hymns. A best-seller since its inception, A Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns is now presented year-round on over 200 public television stations. The program features arrangements of beautiful hymn melodies in stunning performances that leave audiences profoundly moved and inspired. The concert was widely rebroadcast in the aftermath of 9/11 as a calming and a healing gesture.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Fabulous performances; subpar sound engineering
Just the performance of "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" makes the DVD worth purchasing. Mack Wilberg's arrangement of the hymn is brilliant, and the choir's performance throughout the concert is powerful and heartfelt. The orchestra's performance is uneven, and so is the sound quality of the recording. If you're deciding between formats, go with the DVD instead of CD. The DVD has better sound quality. But, more important, the DVD is a live recording of the actual performance. The combination ... Read More
Rating: - Professional Sound, Full Enjoyment
This is an interesting collection of American songs, performed by a fabulous university choir (the director is currently leading the Mormon Tabernacle Choir). From exciting to inspiring, each song catches the attention of even my young boys. They love to sing along and I'm happy to expose them to quality choral music.

RE: "Thanksgiving of American Folk Hymns" - This CD did NOT contain hymns that I consider as "Thanksgiving Hymns". The music & vocals were nice, just NOT what I wanted when I ordered it. I was looking for familian, to me, hymns, such as "We Gather Together" & "Let All Things Now Living" & "Come Ye Thankful People, Come". Are there such hymns on a CD & available to order?
Rating: - A University performance as professional as they come!

Rating:  - great hymns disgraceful editing
I bought this CD for my husband to listen to in the car because it contains several of his favorite hymns. I think that BYU chorus does a good job with these but it is hard to tell because the sound levels are terrible. I normally turn my car stereo up to between 4 and 8 for listening to the radio or our other CDs. With this one, I have to turn it up to 28 just in order to hear that there are voices accompanying the orchestra. During quiet segments, the thing has to be turned up as loud as it will go ...
