By the singers of Lower Shaker Village. Mary Ann Haagen has been one of the leading researchers into the history and performance of Shaker music and dance over the last twenty years. Her musical ensemble adhere to the highest standards of informed performance practice and careful research in the selection of material. This disc, as well as the two others from The Singers of Lower Shaker Village, are well worth purchasing. This group has a very organic, natural, sound, likely as close to anything (along with The Pleasant Hill Singers) of what hearing Shaker music from the early to mid-19^th century. would have been like. Strongly recommended
