Review:
The musical style of Erik Satie’s "Gymnopédies" is a perfect match to this unhurried and ethereal Appalachian folk tune by William Moats. Lush sound flows from the thinly textured music. This setting is ideal for worship at Christmas and as a change of pace piece for concerts. Set in f minor, the arrangement is 72 measures.
