Of
all Shaker hymns, this is
undoubtedly the best
known because it served
as the basis for
Copland's ballet,
Appalachian Spring.
Arranged here for
strings, it combines
simple pentatonic
melodies with memorable
rhythms. Harmonics,
tremolo and strummed
chords in the keys of G
and D add flair, and the
score contains an
excellent synopsis of
Shaker life for students
and audiences. Duration
2:15.
