Hymns of Thanksgiving began in 2003 to focus on the historical meaning of Thanksgiving, including country, gratitude, blessings, prayer and praise to God. Celebrations in Music, Inc., an Idaho non-profit corporation was created to ensure this event could continue for many years. Each performance brings together more than 200 orchestra and vocal musicians, soloists, and directors, who all donate their time and talents without compensation. Since 2005, Marcellus Brown, of the BSU Music Department, has been the director of the Hymns of Thanksgiving Orchestra. This year accomplished vocal directors Rich Lapp and Annette Mackey will direct the choir. The program includes both choral and orchestral music, as well as instrumental and vocal soloists. Music selected for the program is primarily focused on themes related to Thanksgiving, such as blessings, gratitude, patriotism, prayer, family, service to others, and reverence for God. The narration for Hymns of Thanksgiving is provided by Idaho’s Governor or Lt. Governor each year. Since 2004, the program has been broadcast on Thanksgiving Day by IPTV throughout Idaho and KTVB throughout its viewing area in Treasure Valley.
