This fascinating book brings more than one hundred previously
unpublished Shaker songs to the attention of scholars, performers,
and aficionados of folk music. A Shaker Musical Legacy introduces
Shaker songs and dances that Brother Ricardo Belden, the last male
member of the Hancock Shakers, gave in original manuscript form to
Jerry and Sybil Count, the first directors of the Shaker Village
Camp. The Opdahls have selected from and transcribed this music and
included dance directions to honor Brother Ricardo's hope that
doing so would keep alive a part of the Shaker heritage.
The songs are transcribed as modern musical scores for use by
contemporary musicians and singers. Many examples are also shown in
their original Shaker musical notation. Step-by-step instructions
show how to perform the dances as the Shakers themselves danced
them. Explanatory notes introduce each of nine musical sections.
