Come, You Thankful People, Come is a spirited setting of the familiar hymntune, ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR, calling for mart, mart-lift, ring-touch and shake techniques, and making extensive use of mallets. The straightforward first stanza is in the usual and expected 4/4 meter, interspersed with an occasional 2/4 measure along the way. The second stanza moves into 3/4, with a recurring cross-accent pattern, producing the effect of playing in 6/8. After modulating from F to E-flat, the third and final stanza returns to the original meter, bringing the piece to a decisive and joyful ff conclusion!

Originally written for handbells and harp, this arrangement of the tune Ellacombe can be played by two handbell or handchime choirs, or one handbell or handchime choir with harp or piano. This piece is a duet between the two parts, with each part carrying the melody at different times. This would be a wonderful opportunity to get together with another handbell choir, or to have two choirs at one church play together, one choir playing bells and one choir playing chimes.
