Oh Shenandoah

《哦，謝南多》可追溯到十九世紀初，可能起源於維吉尼亞州。這首歌有時被稱為'棚戶區'歌曲，因為它的歌詞（'走開，你滾滾的河水'等）有許多版本，可以看作是對河流本身的讚美，也可以看作是對同名印第安酋長女兒的讚美（神話？無論其起源如何，《哦，謝南多河》都已成為美國和其他地區經久不衰的最受歡迎曲目"

原文簡介:
Oh Shenandoah dates back to the early nineteenth century, with possible origins in Virginia. Sometimes referred to as a ‘shanty’ song because of its refrain (‘away, you rolling river,’ etc.), its lyrics exist in many versions and can be seen as a paean either to the river itself, or perhaps to the (mythical?) daughter of an Indian chief of that name. Regardless of its origins, Oh Shenandoah has become an enduring favourite both in the USA and further afield. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir.
