Shenandoah

This lovely arrangement of the popular American folk song perfectly captures the sense of loss and longing in the words. From the gentle unison opening, the music builds up through a range of textures and harmonies to a rich climax, before gently relaxing for a quietly evocative close. Ideal with either piano or orchestral accompaniment. There is also a version for SATB.

Orchestration: 3(3+picc).2.2.2-4.0.3.1-hp-str
