Oorspronklik

Gentle Words composed by Sister Polly Rupe. Arranged by Wayland Rogers. For SATB choir, a cappella. Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. Published by Alliance Music Publications. AN.AMP-0813. This arrangement is based on the modern edition of the tune by the composer, singer and musicologist Roger Lee Hall, who discovered the melody in 1974 while doing research at the Shaker Heights Historical Society in Ohio. It was part of a manuscript music volume in Shaker "letteral" notation which had been collected by Sister Alma McGill. Its composition, however, was by Sister Polly M. Rupe from Pleasant Hill Shaker community in Kentucky during the 19th century. Customarily Shaker songs were performed in unison and without accompaniment or harmony. And although I have supplied an implied harmony and a bit of counterpoint I have endeavored to maintain the simplicity inherent to the Shaker tradition. I am grateful to Mr. Hall for his scholarship and enthusiasm for Shaker music as well as providing the source material for this arrangement.

Sagte woorde saamgestel deur Suster Polly Rupe. Gereël deur Wayland Rogers. Vir SATB koor, a cappella. Heilige. Agtste. 8 bladsye. Gepubliseer deur Alliance Musiek Publications. AN.AMP-0813. Hierdie reëling is gebaseer op die moderne weergawe van die stem deur die komponis, sanger en musikoloog Roger Lee Hall, wat die melodie in 1974 ontdek terwyl hy navorsing by die Shaker Heights Historiese Vereniging in Ohio. Dit was deel van 'n manuskrip musiek volume in Shaker "letteral" notasie wat ingesamel is deur Sister Alma McGill. Die samestelling, was egter deur Suster Polly M. Rupe van Pleasant Hill Shaker gemeenskap in Kentucky in die 19de eeu. Gewoonlik Shaker liedjies is in harmonie en sonder begeleiding of harmonie uitgevoer. En hoewel ek verskaf 'n stilswyende harmonie en 'n bietjie van kontrapunt Ek het probeer om die eenvoud inherent aan die Shaker tradisie in stand te hou. Ek is dankbaar vir mnr Hall vir sy geleerdheid en entoesiasme vir Shaker musiek sowel as die verskaffing van die bron materiaal vir hierdie reëling.
