This toe-tapping arrangement is based on a lesser-known traditional African American Spiritual melody that I fell in love with immediately upon encountering it. The arrangement is accessible to good high school choirs and average college/university groups and is sure to please all audiences. The shaker part can easily be taken up by a non-percussionist from within the choir.

Wonder where is my brother gone?
Wonder where is my brother John?
He is gone in the wilderness,
Ain't comin' no more.

Wonder where will I lie down?
Wonder where will I lie down?
In some lonesome place, Lord,
Down on the ground.

The anonymous hymn More Love, originated in the Shaker community in Canterbury, New Hampshire in the latter part of the 19th century. Several fine choral treatments of this tune have been published, but I felt  a need for a meditative organ prelude on the tune. This is a lovely, sweet 4-1/2-minute piece to use as a prelude to a sacred service, a wedding,  or as a slow-things-down change of pace in a recital program.

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
