I cut the Simple Gifts section out of Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring (not meaning to desecrate a great work) but hopefully the transition doesn't sound too awkward. Please enjoy the photographs by Ansel Adams which accompany the music.

    "Simple Gifts" is a Shaker song written and composed in 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett.

    Copeland is a Jew.

    Copeland's music goes with Ansel Adams' photography so perfectly. Thanks for posting these great shots of Yellowstone and Yosemite, the Rockies and Teton ranges, Half Dome, the Anasazi lands and the Grand Canyon. America...She is truly beautiful...even in black and white. Lovely job, but then, you had beautiful material to work with!

    Our marching band show was based on this music my freshman year and so far it is my favorite. Such fond memories of this piece

    Very nice pictures, but these seem to me the Rocky Mountains and not the Appalachians?
