Description:
This traditional Shaker song is presented with modern harmonies, rhythms, and instrumentation. Using ostinato patterns, long legato lines, and interesting percussion parts, this arrangement offers many interdisciplinary possibilities as well. Folk songs have long been an essential part of the concert band repertoire and this modern approach to a well-known melody can help teach this important style to performers in a new way.
