According to accompanying documentation, this recording was for an assignment,
so probably made by a student in one of Don Yoder's classes. An unidentified
girl speaks (in Pennsylvania German). Several songs are introduced, then
performed, including a song played on piano: "Eine Vina Violet" [?] (the choral
version may be from another recording). A child can be heard speaking, at a

The recording begins with an unidentified man talking about a record made by
about 60 teenage boys and girls of the Shaker Village Work Group. They
researched and recorded the songs as part of their work at the Shaker Village
Project near Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in preserving Shaker cultural
materials. He gives a history of Shakers in the U.S. The interview with Brother
Ricardo Belden begins at 00:07:17 and ends at 00:14:48. The interviewer is
probably Don Yoder. At 00:14:50, a man introduces and plays songs on the piano.
The choral versions of songs that follow may be from the recording mentioned at
the beginning of the tape. The recording speed becomes erratic at 00:30:23, and
begins slowing down. |

Digitization note: The source tape broke at two points. Fresh splice tape was
used to reattach the tape. Sticky shed syndrome was evident at the beginning of
the tape. It was baked to rectify the problem. Later during playback, the tape
would suddenly come to a halt, but this was not a result of sticky shed
syndrome. To correct the problem, the engineer, wearing white gloves, manually
held the tape while it played, effectively acting as a brush. The digital file
for Side A was divided into two files to compensate for the then-current WAV
file size limitations. |

problems when the recording was created, with several instances of drop-out.
