The Shaker hymn, Simple Gifts, is an arranger's delight because the tune lends itself so well to a wide variety of musical presentations. In this new version for student strings, an expressive middle section contrasts wonderfully with the more dramatic opening and closing sections. All parts are equally important, and the key of G puts young players in familiar territory.

“I admire in Frank Cox a musician who has three gifts at a high, virtuoso level all at the same time. Firstly, he is composer, secondly, he plays the cello, specialising in extremely complicated works and finally, he is a brilliant thinker and author. Thus my 'Hommage à Frank Cox' is written as a trio. The vibraphone functions like a typewriter being typed on, the piano represents the place where the composer looks for his sounds and the electric guitar represents the 'performance' of a soloist. Throughout large sections, the three musicians play independently of each other although temporally coordinated. The work is therefore not written in score form. Each player plays a part in the given tempi independently of the other two players. The piano, which plays all the time, gives the vibraphone and guitar their entrances. The course of events is interrupted by three cadenzas, and a finale concludes the work. The players play together here in score form. Morphologically speaking, my point of departure was the (very simple) sinus wave whose mathematical function I continually enriched through additives, so that the formal sections of all three instruments can be shaped like a large network of variations. They play the same music, even when striving for stubborn independence.†(Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf).
