About the tune
“Shenandoah” is a traditional American folk song thought to have been sung by early American/Canadian fur traders who traveled along the Missouri River. The best known lyrics tell of one such trader who yearns for the love of the daughter of the Oneida Iroquois chief, Shenandoah. The song became a popular sea shanty in the 1800’s.

What a beguiling arrangement of this beloved tune! Sparse in places and full in others, with a lovely rolling theme carried throughout. Highly recommended!
