Title
- Conversation with Brother Arnold Hadd with Kevin Siegfried: Part 2.
Summary
- Brother Arnold Hadd, one of those members, actively carries on the 200-plus-year oral tradition of singing Shaker songs. Brother Arnold has been collaborating with American composer Kevin Siegfried, whose choral arrangements of Shaker songs are frequently performed by modern vocal ensembles. While staying true to the essential nature of the original songs, Siegfried's choral arrangements serve to bring the music to a wider audience. Siegfried also does archival research and work in the Sabbathday Lake Library and sees his choral arrangements as a form of musical stewardship, helping to safeguard and bring awareness to this important American musical tradition.
