Written and composed in 1848, this Shaker tune was almost unknown until Aaron Copland used the melody in his ballet "Appalachian Spring" in 1944. Since then, it has become very popular and appears in many arrangements. Arranged here for two soprano voices and piano, this simple but effective setting is enhanced by imitation between the two vocal parts and bell-like interjections in the piano part. An ideal selection for treble choirs of all ages.
