We Plow the Fields
Publisher Desc.
The lyrics to this traditional hymn were written in 1792 and set to music
around 1800. Of German origin, it was commonly used in connection with
harvest festivals; which led to the hymn becoming a Thanksgiving standard in
America. Unfortunately omitted from most modern hymnals, the music features a
delightful melody supported by solid harmonies. This setting is written
essentially in hymn style with a contrasting section for three-part women and
one for unison men. Easily accessible to the average church choir, it will be
appreciated by choir directors who are preparing for the busy holiday season.
The accompaniment effectively supports the voices, and should be well within
the reach of most church accompanists. Don't miss this charmer!
