Composed by Robert A. Howard. 20th Century,Contemporary,Holiday. Score. 2 pages. Robert A. Howard #5868827. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998774).

This one handed piano piece is an arrangement of a short work for handbells (also available in a version for four horns), originally written as a centenary tribute to the great American composer Aaron Copland (born 1900). The work makes a brief reference to Copland's famous 'Fanfare for the Common Man' before developing its own sense of line. Harmonies are created by sustaining melodic notes in the manner of bells. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for virtually any standard of pianist, including early grade players. The handbell, and the four horns versions of this work are available for purchase via Sheet Music Plus.

The tune was written by Joseph Brackett (1797–1882) in 1848. Brackett, a lifelong resident of Maine,first joined the Shakers at Gorham, Maine, when his father's farm helpedto form the nucleus of a new Shaker settlement.

The song was largely unknown outside Shaker communities until Aaron Copland used its melody for the score of MarthaGraham's ballet Appalachian Spring (Shakers once worshipped on Holy Mount, in the Appalachians), first performed in 1944. Copland usedSimple Gifts a second time in 1950 in his first set of OldAmerican Songs for voice and piano, which was later orchestrated. Many people thought that the tune of Simple Gifts was a traditional Celtic one but both the music and original lyrics are actually the compositions of Brackett. Simple Gifts has been adapted or arranged many times since by folksingers and composers.
