For our final virtual choir piece of the 2020-21 season, we are happy to present a long-time favorite, James Erb's "Shenandoah." While academics may differ on the origin and meaning of the name “Shenandoah,” the rest of us can agree that Erb's lush, rolling arrangement of this hauntingly beautiful folk melody is a joy both to sing and to hear.
