Flying Baton Publications #3915921. Published by Flying Baton Publications (A0.965350). A suitable song to challenge the beginner band's blend, intonation, and ability to play softly.

Colin Eatock Music #918355. Published by Colin Eatock Music (A0.1330583). Four movements; soprano, string quartet; ca. 12 min.The composer writes: Rabindranath Tagore’s Song Offerings are the poet’s own English-language translations of his Bengali-language Gitanjali. While Tagore’s translations are not exactly literal, they present to the Western world a window into the tradition of Hindu devotional poetry. (Tagore won the 1913 Nobel Prize for literature for the collection.)The four excerpts I have chosen to set to music, love and beauty are recurring themes, richly elaborated with images from nature. But as with many of the poems in Gitanjali: Song Offerings, the “love� and “beauty� can be interpreted as either worldly or spiritual.

As with most folk songs, there are many different versions of Shenandoah, and it’s impossible to determine the song’s exact provenance with any degree of certainty. It probably has its origin among the French Canadians who traded with Native Americans around the Great Lakes during the sixteenth century. In most versions of the song, the lyrics tell of a seafarer, possibly a canoeing fur-trader, who was in love with the daughter of Shenandoah, a Native American Chief who lived in what is now the state of Virginia. Shenandoah was a real person: an individual of commanding presence who lived for over a hundred years. Sailors heading down the Mississippi picked up the song and made it a capstan shanty, which they sang while hauling in the anchor. By the mid-1800s versions of the song were heard almost everywhere the American clipper ships ventured. Shenandoah was one of the most popular capstan shanties, a slow song which set a manageable pace for the crew in a heavy and lengthy task.
