all things bright and beautiful

The Humane Society's Animals & Religion campaign recently asked music artists Adjoa Skinner and Erica Kirkendall and the group Sleeping At Last to contribute renditions of the classic hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" to their All Creatures Great and Small campaign.  We highlighted that campaign last Fall, and I thought I might post the songs here for your listening enjoyment, each with a very unique style and take.

From Adjoa Skinner, jazz/soul vocalist and songwriter:

From indie rock group Sleeping At Last:

 

From Erica Krikendall, independent singer/songwriter:

Choral director John Rutter has a beautiful arrangement of the hymn as well, which you can hear performed by the Brighton Treble Choir, among others.  Please feel free to post links to any other renditions you've appreciated in the comments, and perhaps we'll be able to feature them down the road!
