Shaker Variations by Jim Palmer is a theme and variations on the familiar Shaker melody "Simple Gifts." Each section has the opportunity to play musical lines and a variety of styles. Rich harmonies will create a mature orchestral sound, and a strong ending makes this piece a great opener or closer for any concert or festival performance. (3:45)
