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.

Fanfare for the Common Kid pays homage to the legacy of the American Composer Aaron Copland. The original Fanfare for the Common Man has great strength using only brass and percussion instruments and it was written in response to the US entry into World War II. The harmonic structure of Fanfare for the Common Kid is reminiscent of the open fourths and fifths in the melodic line along with the imitation in parts style that was used by Copland.

Composed by C. Foster Payne. Contemporary,Folk,Patriotic. Score and parts. 120 pages. FossPayneMusic #4853759. Published by FossPayneMusic (A0.932123).

(Grade 4) This composition for concert band has a distinctly American sound in the vein of Aaron Copland and John Williams. Orchestrated for concert band, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave begins with an intimate trumpet solo and progresses into several variations of the melody passed around the band until the work takes a decidedly aggressive tone that begins with a tuba solo. If you are looking for a concert work that depicts the United States of America at her best, this is the piece for you! (Run Time: approx. 8:15)

It includes a 20-second saxophone solo by Jim Horn. The opening chord of the chorus was based on that used by John in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which Sedaka has described as a drop-dead chord. He combined that with a pentatonic melody inspired by Aaron Copland. Cody claims to have written the lyrics in about five minutes after smoking marijuana and falling asleep under a tree for a couple of hours.
