PAUL PADDOCK - "Shenandoah" sung by Chanticleer

Paul paddock - CHORALE Bass

"shenandoah"

sung by chanticleer

arr. by michael bartholomew & james erb

This is one of my favorite pieces because of the lush warm harmonies and it reminds me of where I grew up. I sang bass to this in District VIII choir at Menchville High School in Virginia freshman year front row and center--talk about being wrapped in an intense chasmic blanket of a 200+voice sound! To me it fits the description of how you'd feel about the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding mountains' nature/colors, and indeed you'd hear those echoes. Once you visit even once, it'll always be a part of you.
