Chorale and Shaker Dance

A superb selection for any contest or concert program. Comprising two main musical ideas, one of which is the familiar Shaker hymn 'Tis the Gift to Be Simple, this is an exceptionally interesting, mildly contemporary, quite playable and deservedly popular work. A teaching-learning unit prepared by Robert Garofalo that includes interpretive analysis, teacher's lesson plan, and student learning guide is also available.
