Review:
This beloved Quaker tune takes on new life with an unexpected rumba beat. Two sudden yet very appropriate key changes keep the energy flowing from verse to verse, and a strong, syncopated chordal section allows one to catch a breath before the big finish. This unique pairing of traditional tune and Latin rhythm will make "Simple Gifts" a favorite addition to worship, concert or festival repertoire. Set in F Major, Db Major, and C Major, these 55 measures will fly by!
