This SAB a cappella arrangement is just the thing for those choirs with fewer male singers. This setting of the traditional SIMPLE GIFTS hymn is cleverly constructed to make even the smallest of choirs sound good. From its simple unison beginning to its canonic treatment on verse three, your choir will enjoy learning and performing this one.

This tune has a familiarity that will endear it to your choir the first time they sing it. The piece builds from unison, to a two-part round between the men’s and women’s voices, arriving at a three-part verse (a cappella optional). Even this final verse is not challenging. A great piece to have on hand when rehearsal time is short.
