Just saw her at a master class 2 days ago at Carnegie, she looked beautiful and while demonstrating passages for the singers her voice sounded amazing! I was lucky enough to be able to meet her after the class and it is a moment I will never forget! What a wonderful, wonderful lady.

@SedonaCowboy This orchestral arrangement was from the suite "Appalachian Spring" which was penned by Aaron Copland.

The most wonderful voice in existence...we are blessed to have this.

I was sitting in the first row at this concert. Marilyn sang the first note and shivers just went down my spine. At the end of her last song, you could hear a pin drop in the hall and then her last note bounced off the back of the hall. I has been my favorite musical since that day.

stunningly beautiful with no hint of sentimentality-I also love the control and and sincerity which makes this such a special recording.Thanks for the upload

Ms. Horne is a great talent and all, but if you want to hear the emotions of the words evoked in true simplicity, take a listen to Alison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma do this song justice. I think theirs is the most beautiful and elegantly simple version of "Simple Gifts" I've ever heard.

@SedonaCowboy Elder Joseph Brackett wrote the melody and lyrics; Aaron Copland arranged a piano piece that then became an orchestral piece.

Good stuff and good singing! Fond memories!

I love how magnificent Marilyn's voice was. Her voice was like a rock, from top to bottom, for decades, and even this late in her career it's all there still - and better still for the experience.

I'm a self-described metal-head, but I could listen to this again. I'm not too sure about the vocals yet (just not what I'm used to) but the song itself is very beautiful. See, this is where youtube comes in handy...it give me a chance to listen to and bookmark music I'd never find otherwise.

"Simple Gifts" was written in 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett of the Shaker Church, not by Aaron Copeland.
