When I was little, I lived in Terrington St. Clement in England and I have fond memories of gathering with all of the students at my little school and singing songs together. My favorite song was 'Lord of the Dance' - which is the same tune as 'Simple Gifts.' That is why I picked that tune for some easy beginning orchestra arrangements. I just completed 2 versions - one is easy, and the other is even easier.
Last week, I had my advanced orchestra sightread this little piece, and it sounded pretty good - it worked really well for a sight-reading activity. You can find the score and parts for these arrangements totally FREE at my website:

And this is the really simplified version:
