Shenandoah

Content description: Track length: 195,24 seconds Description: This is an entirely new and original look at a folk song that dates back to the early 19th century.Â Arranged for solo soprano with piano accompaniment by Gay Santerre.Â Full of musical imagery, the accompaniment very vividly imitates a river throughout the 1st and 2nd verse.Â At first soft and murmuring, it becomes a tumultuous series of rapids in the 2nd verse.Â The third verse restatement of the text is full of longing wonderfully executed by a wistful soprano, with lots of sustain in the piano creating a distinctly surreal atmosphere.Â A very expressive rendition of the well known American folk song expressing a pioneer’s nostalgia for the Shenandoah River Valley in Virginia. Great for a scene in a history show about the growing west.
