Grandma says that every time she hears this tune, she wants to stand up and dance a jig! Likely the most popular of Shaker tunes, Simple Gifts remains a favorite in schools, folk concerts, and houses of worship. This tune gained popularity when it was included in Aaron Copland's score for the ballet Appalachian Spring. The melody has a decidedly traditional Celtic sound, but it was written by Elder Joseph Brackett of Maine in 1848. This intermediate arrangement is in the key of G and begins with 12/8 time counted in 4. The last page moves to a more regal and slower 4/4 meter then returns to echo the beginning 12/8 time to close. 4 pages and 2:10 minutes long

By Harriet Coupal. By The Shakers. Arranged by Harriet Coupal. Christian,Classical,Historic,Religious,Traditional. Score. 2 pages. Coupal Music #825489. Published by Coupal Music (A0.1229724).

From those who gave “Hands to work, Hearts to God,� this lovely and evocative Shaker melody is delightfully arranged here for Solo Organ by noted pianist, organist and teacher Harriet Coupal. With helpful fingerings to guide the player, and some dexterity is required, but, otherwise, a most attainable piece for organists of even the most modest skills.

Traditional lyrics for this hymn:

O the beautiful treasure laid up for the wise,
How precious the value, how glorious the prize.
Far brighter than riches on princes’ brow,
And richer than royalty can bestow.

O the beautiful treasure provided by God,
And promised to good people who follow the word;
And streams of sweet mercy shall bring them home
To rest from the sorrowful paths they roam.

Composed by Shaker Hymn. Arranged by Paul Taylor. Christian,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 2 pages. Paul Taylor #6139477. Published by Paul Taylor (A0.803348).

This traditional Shaker hymn is presented for the early intermediate pianist. Being a vocal piece, the melody is not highly idiomatic to the piano and every effort has been made to provide a suggested fingering for difficult hops between positions. In general, the chordal accompaniment stays close to the melody and phrasing is coordinated between the hands. The articulation is adds a lot to the character of this ancient melody. .
