A Shaker Hymn

Description

Based on the hymn "Tis the Gift to be Simple" (used in Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring), this arrangement is a superb vehicle for exploring Early American music and its links to the present. Skillfuly arranged by John O'Reilly, this selection is correlated with Strictly Strings, Book 1, page 34. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
