Three Shaker Songs (small suite) for Brass Quintet

Three traditional Shaker songs, arranged for Brass Quintet: I. Pretty Home II. O Come, Come Away III. Dance Tune Shaker music, like Shaker architecture, design, and living, is as beautiful as it is stark, and fascinating in its plain minimalism. These three pieces act together as a short suite celebrating Shaker hymnody. Each song was initially just a melody. They have been largely harmonized pentatonically, matching their melodies. Calls-and-responses and arresting unisons are utilized to evoke Shaker singing and worship practices. Stamping and simple percussion can be added, and are especially encouraged for movements I. and III.
