arr. James Erb - Shenandoah

Музыка

James Erb's beautiful setting of "Shenandoah" composed in 1971 performed here, live, by the Choir of Royal Holloway as a special encore following the composer's death on 11th November, 2014
Lyrics
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
And hear your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
I long to see your smiling valley
And hear your rolling river
I long to see your smiling valley
way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
'Tis seven long years since last I've seen you
And hear your rolling river
'Tis seven long years since last I've seen you
way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
And hear your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
way, we're bound away
Across the wide Missouri.

    I used to sing with Jim Erb many long years ago. He was the most generous man who loved to give away music. He was a great teacher. He was a great musician. He was a great man. Thank you for your performance. It brought tears to my eyes.

    Sang this in college under the man who arranged this setting of Shenandoah, James Erb. He was a pure delight under which to sing, and is greatly mourned by this particular alto.

    Wow, you sang under Erb's direction? So cool! I sang this piece several times during my senior year of high school and LOVED it. Very challenging but so beautiful.

    James Erb was director of choirs for 40 years at the University of Richmond, Virginia. I sang in his choirs for 4 years as a student.

    Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Brings tears to my eyes when I think of how lovely the Shenandoah Valley of western Virginia with the mountains on either side and all the streams and rivers.

    I had to learn this version of "Shenandoah" for state honor choir in Oklahoma when I was in high school. It's REALLY difficult. At the end I had to hit and hold E flat for 16 measures at ppp.
