String Octet - Intermediate - Digital Download. Simple Gifts ('Tis the Gift to Be Simple), an American Shaker Song, written in 1848 and attributed to Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr. of Alfred, Maine, would be a great addition to any music library. The song was largely unknown outside Shaker communities until Aaron Copland used its melody for the score of Martha Graham's ballet, Appalachian Spring, first performed in 1944. Simple Gifts has now been arranged for a String Octet, consisting of 3 Violins, 2 Violas, 2 Violoncellos and 1 Double Bass, by Regis Bookshar. This arrangement features a Violoncello on the melody. It is suitable for high school and college students, and, depending upon their ability, even elementary school students. Professional musicians would also enjoy playing this selection.

In addition to this arrangement of Simple Gifts for a String Octet, other arrangements of this tune are also available. There are Quintets and Octets readily available for a wide variety of instrumental ensembles.

SKU: A0.850765

Composed by Elder Joseph Brackett. Arranged by Spike Maiden Müller. Easter,Sacred,Wedding. Score and parts. 14 pages. Spike Maiden Mueller #6423843. Published by Spike Maiden Mueller (A0.850765).

Simple Gifts is believed to have been written around 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett from Alfred Shaker Village in Maine. The tune was largely unknown outside Shaker communities until Aaron Copland used it in his 1944 ballet Appalachian Spring. Since then it has inspired and/or informed such classics as Sydney Carter's Lord of the Dance and John Zdechlik's Chorale and Shaker Dance. This version was written as the processional for the wedding of Thomas Hall and Nancy Pierce. The flute and piano parts require some technical skill, while the organ part is simple and straightforward. If used for a wedding, be sure to emphasize the Here Comes the Bride motif in the last two bars of the organ pedal part!
