That's one of my favorite pieces - there are lots of different arrangements of it. A lot of people sing it at Thanksgiving. It is pretty in its simplicity. Thanks!

I really like that one! Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto is very pretty too.

Simple Gifts is a beautiful piece of music. It was used by The Shakers in 19th century worship services. If you've never visited a restored Shaker community to see how they lived, you should. Thanks for sharing........
