Creator Magazine selected an original choral composition by CRAWFORD R. THOBURN for inclusion in a compilation of "Simply the Best: Honored Anthems" of 1986-2004. The editorial board of the interdenominational church music journal chose a few anthems issued in each year which they believed made a significant and unique contribution to church choral music. According to the journal, these appealing and finely crafted pieces "should grace the folders of every choir." Included in this group was Professor Thoburn's setting for mixed voices of the medieval poem "A Lovely Rose Is All My Song" published by Carl Fischer.
