Simple Gifts

简单的礼物 "曾被配上许多不同的歌词演唱（尤其是悉尼-卡特（Sydney Carter）在 20 世纪 60 年代创作的赞美诗《舞蹈之王》），由于在亚伦-科普兰（Aaron Copland）于 1944 年首次演出的芭蕾舞剧《阿巴拉契亚之春》的配乐中使用了该曲调，因此该曲调非常著名。来自缅因州的长老约瑟夫-布拉克特（Joseph Brackett）最初于 1848 年将其作为 "舞曲 "创作。亚历山大-埃斯特朗奇（Alexander L'Estrange）的这首改编曲简洁得体，效果优美"

原文简介:
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!
