Simple Gifts Shaker Hymn for Brass Quintet Arranged by Jari VillanuevaBrass Quartet2 Trumpets in BbHorn in F (Eb Alto, Trombone, Bb Trumpet)Euphonium (Baritone TC)Substitute parts availableThe 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.https://youtu.be/hmhKeZgRrMk
