This tuneful and graceful excerpt from "Appalachian Spring" is one of Copland's most "American" works, famous for his use of the Shaker tune, Gift to be Simple. Written primarily with dancer Martha Graham in mind, Copland himself describes the music as being much like Graham herself, "..she's unquestionably very American: there's something prim and restrained, simple yet strong, about her which one tends to think of as American." Orchestra Set contains strings: 8-8-6-6-6.
