The Gift To Be Simple was commissioned by the North Bethesda (Maryland) Middle School Band, where Monica Hepburn is the director. Monica is a former student and graciously asked me to write this for her band. I aimed to take this traditional Shaker song and add modern harmonies, rhythms, and instrumentation.With that in mind, the introduction is similar to the lyrical setting of the original. Measure 5 creates a lively rhythmic motive for the ensemble where the members should match note lengths and style. Be sure that the clarinet and saxophone are the predominant motives at m. 18 so the melody can be fully realized. At mm. 26 and 38, be sure that the rhythmic accompaniment does not overpower the melody and that they adhere to all articulations. Finally, the marking forte-piano followed by a crescendo at m. 53 is critical for the final musical push to the end of the piece.I hope you and your ensemble enjoy performing The Gift To Be Simple.

When I found Born on a Fishing Boat in an issue of Poetry While You Wait in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I was immediately struck by Ms. Lius simple, evocative words. While I sat in the cafe on a cold January day waiting for my coffee, I closed my eyes and envisioned what it might be like to lie on my back in a small fishing boat and look up at the stars. I stole the free booklet of poetry and trudged home in the snow, already hearing the piano part in my mind. I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about Mei-Li Lius life and work to purchase her book Ten Thousand Miles from Home, published by Dragon Press (ISBN: 9780976137009). I sincerely hope I have honored her art with this setting. Born on a Fishing Boat I was born on fishing boat Lying in basket Ocean tide rocking me to sleep Papa fishing all-day and all-night Mamas washings hanging on line Above my head Misty sea washing my face Northern wind whispering to my ears Angel of sea kissing my forehead Beneath paper moon My little arms out from the cradle Out to the breeze Happy, born on fishing boat By the sea.When I found aBorn on a Fishing Boata in an issue of Poetry While You WaitA in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I was immediately struck by Ms. Liuas simple, evocative words.
