Shenandoah

November 26, 2020

 

I WISH ALL the readers of this site a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving weekend.

Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
And hear your rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you,
Way, we’re bound a way
Across the wide Missouri.

This was lovely. What is it about mournful music beautifully executed that has such a calming and paradoxically uplifting effect?

In the same vein, here is a rendition of Psalm 136, subtitled in the Douay -Rheims, The lamentations of the people of God in their captivity in Babylon.
