SHENANDOAH is one of America's most popular folk songs. It is a capstan (or short haul) chanty of American origin whose subject is said to be the Valley of the Shenandoah (between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains) and the great Indian chieftain after whom both the valley and the river were named. American cavalrymen sang it, and it became a rowing song sung on midwestern rivers. This fine orchestral setting by Albert Davis of Shenandoah captures the rich folk quality inherent in this lovely melodic song.

Here's a memorable and humorous contrast for your winter concert. A gregarious student or staff member in the guise of “Beethoven returned” suddenly appears on your concert stage in this comedy skit for band. The music begins as an innocent Christmas medley, but by the time it's over, “Beethoven” owns your band, and you, the director, are vanquished from the stage. Of course there are lots of laughs along the way.
