| | Variations On A Shaker Melody
Aaron Copland wrote three ballets during his career. This was his third ballet, and was the only ballet that did not make extensive use of folk melodies. The only song that Copland included along with his original music was the old Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts". With the unmistakeable Copland harmonies, "Variations On A Shaker Melody" is sure to be a welcome addition to your band's library.
