Bing Futch: “Variations on a Shaker Tune”: A Study in Song (Friday, Session 5, Level 4 - Upper-Intermediate, Mountain Dulcimer) 16MD108
For 174 years, "Simple Gifts" has enjoyed a favored place in the repertoire of many a musician and several works have explored variations on its themes. I've arranged a version of the tune in this spirit and, as we play it together, you'll discover first-hand how a simple melody can be adapted and infused with new colors and emotion. The 1 1/2 fret is required to play this piece.
