Chorale and Shaker Dance - Concert Band

Chorale and Shaker Dance

for Concert Band Grade 4

This masterwork has become a standard in the band repertoire since its premiere at the 1972 National MENC Convention in Atlanta. The work contains two basic ideas; the Chorale, which is a simple, single phrased melody, and the familiar Shaker song "'Tis the Gift be Simple." A true classic!
