I've always loved this tune. A Shaker hymn if I remember correctly. Lovely harmonies on this. Pretty acoustic arrangement. Would love to hear more of these from y'all. If you ever need more porch pickers, I can join in on mando and or guitar, but it sounds like Feter has that covered!

Dadai.2 said 225 days ago (August 6th, 2009)
One of my very favorites....
sung and played by three of my favorites.

When true simplicity is gained, to bow and bend we'll not be ashamed. To turn, to turn twill be our delight, till by turning, turning we come to the light.

This is not only performed so very well, but the hearts of each of you, coming through your performances, elevates the song to such honest authenticity. Kudos for this your take.

There can never be...
...too many renditions of this beautiful folk song. This one is upbeat and very personal. Flowers in bloom, hearts in bloom, peacefulness in bloom. Nicely-conceived with Roxy's special vocals and the wonderful a cappella verses. So straight-forward with a driving beat and a positive attitude.
Peace.

Ed Hannifin said 224 days ago (August 7th, 2009)
A New England song...
I live in what used to be Shaker country, although 'Simple Gifts' came out of the Maine Shaker communities...

I particularly like the a cappela parts, where what I assume is Feter's low voice is a nice counterpoise to Roxylee's high part...

The feel is really nice...

composerclark said 207 days ago (August 24th, 2009)
Love it
I love this song, and I love your rendition of it. One of the keys to doing this right is to keep it simple, and you certainly did that, so I applaud you all for such a lovely and fine interpretation! Is it my imagination or is something funky happening to the rhythm in the beginning of the instrumental solo right after the a cappella verse? No biggie, though; great job here, everyone!

Got to love this message!
Straight from the heart. A joy to listen too. I love that banjo a lot. Simple things in life are often forgotten or overlooked. Turn and turn untill we come right.. lovely... it's like searching the whole universe and finding out what you've been looking for was with you the whole time...

Simple Gifts
"Simple Gifts" written by Elder Joseph, Shaker Dance, 1848.
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come out right.

The references to "turning" in the last two lines have been identified as dance instructions.

(I kind of think He intended it to allude to the change that comes upon a person when the person sacrifices his ego to God. IMHO)
