"Home to Thanksgiving" is a good collection of mostly A Capella hymns and carols for Thanksgiving, with a harp and piano here and there. It is essentially a compilation of music from various albums on the Harmonia Mundi label.The CD's mood ranges from happiness of thanksgiving and harvest to a more somber mood of days past and things forgotten. The A Capella and solo voices more effectively convey the feeling of each piece than an orchestra or pipe organ accompaniment could manage. To simplify, there is nothing like the human voice to bring out the full emotion of music, consisting of shape-note singing, solos, medieval chants and rounds. Musical instruments make only brief appearances.Although not in a jewel case, the CD is enclosed in a well-made jacket with a booklet (printed on high-quality glossy paper) containing full lyrics and Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving proclamation from October 1863.This CD will bring out the true meaning of Thanksgiving in all its forms.
