簡單的禮物——奧巴馬就職典禮上馬友友等演奏的樂曲
"Simple Gifts" was written by Elder Joseph while he was at the Shaker community in Alfred, Maine in 1848 (From Wikipedia).
Lyrics
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.
The tune was incorporated into a composition called “Air and Simple Gifts” arranged by John Williams and performed by Itzhak Perlman (violin), Yo-Yo Ma (cello), Gabriela Montero (piano), and Anthony McGill (clarinet) on January 20, 2009 at the 2009 inauguration of United States' President Barack Obama.
