Monroe - Praise and Thanksgiving (Morning Has Broken) for Flute Choir
Praise and Thanksgiving (Morning Has Broken) for Flute Choir, arranged by Ervin Monroe. From the arranger: "This ancient Gaelic melody presented here is one of the most popular Gaelic folk melodies ever written and probably dates back more than five hundred years. Like all folk melodies, there are numerous word settings over the centuries. The most familiar text for this tune was written in the early 1900s by Albert F. Bayly entitled Praise and Thanksgiving, and it is included in many of the hymn books in churches today. In the 1970s, folk singer Cat Stevens popularized this melody in his recording of Morning Has Broken."
