About the author

ROBERT C. OPDAHL spent several summers at the Shaker Village Work Camp as a key staff member creating and conducting workshops on Shaker music as well as transcribing songs from the manuscripts. Toward the end of his experience, and while completing studies at Hofstra University, he met with folk singer Frank Warner who heartily supported the transcription project. VIOLA E. WOODRUFF OPDAHL taught history in New Lebanon, New York, where she had the opportunity to learn about the nearby New Lebanon and Hancock Shaker communities. Viola has written for the New York Historical Society, New York State Education Department, and she was a college social studies supervisor for SUNY at New Paultz. The authors have been studying Shaker music and collecting original songs and dance materials of the Shakers for more than forty years. ROBERT STUART JAMIESON, folk musician and author, has written a foreword about the fascinating chain of events that has preserved this musical heritage. JERRY V. GRANT, director of research at the Shaker Museum and Library in Old Chatham, New York, has supplied an introduction to A Shaker Musical Legacy that explores how songs and dances express the Shaker's sacred worldview.
