Original tekst

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.

Oversættelse

Blide Words komponeret af Sister Polly Rupe. Arrangeret af Wayland Rogers. For SATB kor, a capella. Sacred. Ottende. 8 sider. Udgivet af Alliance Music Publications. AN.AMP-0813. Dette arrangement er baseret på den moderne udgave af melodi af komponisten, sangeren og musikforsker Roger Lee Hall, der opdagede melodien i 1974 mens du gør forskning på Shaker Heights Historical Society i Ohio. Det var en del af et manuskript musik volumen i Shaker "letteral" notation, som var blevet indsamlet af søster Alma McGill. Dens sammensætning var imidlertid af søster Polly M. Rupe fra Pleasant Hill Shaker samfund i Kentucky i det 19. århundrede. Traditionelt Shaker sange blev udført i fællesskab og uden akkompagnement eller harmoni. Og selvom jeg har leveret en stiltiende harmoni og en smule kontrapunkt jeg har forsøgt at bevare enkelhed uløseligt forbundet med shakertradition. Jeg takker Mr. Hall for hans stipendium og begejstring for Shaker musik samt give kildematerialet til dette arrangement.
