SATB BPM 2026 for 50th Year

On Wednesday, July 22, 2026 we celebrate the Anniversary of Ken Medema’s TREE SONG. The original song was premiered in August 1976 at the youth convention of the Christian Reformed Church at Princeton University. The song, based on Psalm 1, traces the different seasons and places of a tree. The verses focus on being by the riverside, the wintertime, and the city streets. This brand new SATB choral version of the TREE SONG incorporates a lovely four-part harmony and is dedicated to The Hymn Society of the United States and Canada at their Annual Conference. It will be sung by the convention choir led by Ken Medema. This full circle celebration marks the 50th Anniversary of the song and takes place at the place where it was first sung by several thousand Christian youth!
