Baker's Dozen #4: Shaker Music

Baker's Dozen #4: Shaker Music is Shelley Stevens' collection of traditional Shaker melodies arranged for mountain dulcimer.

Many of these tunes are less familiar today, but they're an important part of our musical traditions. All are in DAD tuning, a surprising number of them in E minor (capo at fret 1), and each includes standard notation and dulcimer tablature.
