Simple Gifts

簡單的禮物 "曾被配上許多不同的歌詞演唱（尤其是悉尼-卡特（Sydney Carter）在 20 世紀 60 年代創作的讚美詩《舞蹈之王》），由於在亞倫-科普蘭（Aaron Copland）於 1944 年首次演出的芭蕾舞劇《阿巴拉契亞之春》的配樂中使用了該曲調，因此該曲調非常著名。來自緬因州的長老約瑟夫-布拉克特（Joseph Brackett）最初於 1848 年將其作為 "舞曲 "創作。亞歷山大-埃斯特朗奇（Alexander L'Estrange）的這首改編曲簡潔得體，效果優美"

原文簡介:
Simple Gifts has been sung to numerous different lyrics (particularly Sydney Carter’s 1960s hymn Lord of the dance) and the tune is very well known, thanks to its use in Aaron Copland’s score for the ballet Appalachian Spring, first performed in 1944. Elder Joseph Brackett – a shaker from Maine – originally wrote it as a ‘dancing song’ in 1848. This arrangement by Alexander L’Estrange is appropriately simple and beautifully effective. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing!
