I lived in the Appalachian Mountains for years. No song captures the yearning for the primitive forests and winding rivers as well as this song does. Much of the Appalachians are protected as National Forests and Parks. It was the wilderness before the huge migrations across the Mississippi River. It reminds me that we still have territories and states in the U. S. that are unsettled and beautiful. This song is like a prayer to keep these wilderness areas pristine.
Fantastic I was there in NC I lived in my fry boots with all the snakes.. s F city girl beautiful county good people. I was 20 bought a 55 Studebaker it was a her but her name was Edgar anyway I'm happy I went. All the best..great performance Thank you!
The beauty of an all male chorus can't be compared to anything else on Earth. As an American hearing this traditional fold song, I have shivers of pure joy...thank you!
This made me cry but only because of its beauty and the emotions emulating from the choristers. God bless you all for providing us with such a moving piece of music. Beautiful xxx
I never get tired of watching the most stunning rendition of Shenandoah in the world. I can't count how many times it has brought me to tears. Thank you each and every person who sang this magnificent song. 🙋🙋🙋🏴🏴🏴
Absolutely stunning. This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and l for one congratulate the choir for their beautiful rendition. Thank you all so much. 🙋🙋🇬🇧🇬🇧☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Nobody knows who wrote this music. The lyrics appear to have varied from decade to decade. It is thought this song may have originated with the _courier de bois_ who ventured out of New France (today's Quebec) and sought out furs and other trade with the tribes throughout the central and northern parts of North America in the late 1700s and early 1800s. A beautiful song to be sure! 💘😉😥
Absolutely magnificent, such beautifully controlled and supportive voices combining into an excellently sung favorite of ours. What a privilege to listen to this world-class men's choir in such a distinguished atmosphere.
l just had to watch this STUNNING choir again l can't help myself hahaha. 🙋🙋🙋🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧☘️☘️. Is it possible to buy a CD of this performance? 🙋🙋
It's a mix of many choirs from Wales, and also our choir from Kent, formed in 1929 by Welsh and other miners who migrated here to work in the new coalmines.
I love the song and the choir. But there is something sad too about the song, it kind of reminds me that it would be sung at the death of a President. Don't know why I think that, maybe because it it around the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination.
With a group that big, it's hard to have everybody on exactly the same pitch. And this arrangement took unnecessary liberties with the traditional rhythms and in one case, pitch.

As another American, this one brought me to tears...my ancestors left the British Isles in the 1700's.
Beautiful. . .Thank you!
There is something thrilling about hearing a male chorus.
Again, Thank you!
Learned this song in grade school. Love it!🇺🇸
THis song always makes me cry. I have visited the Shenandoah Valley many times It is truly a beautiful place
What an outstandingly smooth sound. These men have certainly been well trained. The canon effect is wonderful.
I love this reminds me of my Mum she was welsh and came from Swansea gives me goosbumps sadly Mum has passed away
Lovely memories of your Mum, Linda.
I have always loved this song after hearing Jimmy Rogers sing it so many years ago.❤ This is beautiful ❤
This made me cry but only because of its beauty and the emotions emulating from the choristers. God bless you all for providing us with such a moving piece of music. Beautiful xxx
Made me tear up because it is beautiful and yet very sad.
@@Songwriter376 One gets the feeling the person singing this does not expect to live to see Shenandoah ever again. 😥😔
Such a beautiful song, a hymn to a river. A sadness, like death permeates it, yet it remains inspiring and so, so beautiful.
I never get tired of watching the most stunning rendition of Shenandoah in the world. I can't count how many times it has brought me to tears. Thank you each and every person who sang this magnificent song. 🙋🙋🙋🏴🏴🏴
Sad to say, that one of the Tenors in the choir, passed away 23/10/2023, he was proud to be there, heaven must be short of Tenors, REST IN PEACE FITZ.
Glorious music❤
Very moving. A great old classic from North America.
One of the most beautiful folk songs.
@@barbaramarrs5113 I usually cry when I hear it. It reminds me of the old civil war movie with James Stewart.
@@ToddSauve -- It has been years since I saw this movie. I need to find it.
@@barbaramarrs5113 Great old movie. I saw it when I was 9 or 10 and it was heart breaking at times. But a great film, nonetheless. 🤠
these gentlemen have opened a new place in my soul. Forever be you blessed.
You all made me cry, so beautiful! It's stairs my old Virginia soul!
Absolutely stunning. This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and l for one congratulate the choir for their beautiful rendition. Thank you all so much. 🙋🙋🇬🇧🇬🇧☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

Meraviglioso arrangiamento di una splendida canzone popolare che amo tanto fin dalla mia gioventù negli scout....grazie!
Makes me so proud to be from
Wales
Me too.
As a young lady from Manchester I spent my youth in North Wales in the early seventies every weekend I could. Lovely people, lovely times.
Since when has the Shenandoah River been in Wales?
@@maxwelldownham235it’s not, the mainly ex miners singing are , however.
Splendid rendition of a great song.
Great performance a a classic and beloved song.
Absolutely magnificent, such beautifully controlled and supportive voices combining into an excellently sung favorite of ours. What a privilege to listen to this world-class men's choir in such a distinguished atmosphere.
Still a magnificent rendering to continue listening to andv enjoying.
Beautiful. Inspiring peacefulness.

Can someone tell me the name of the Welsh choir singing this version of
Shenandoah
It's a mix of many choirs from Wales, and also our choir from Kent, formed in 1929 by Welsh and other miners who migrated here to work in the new coalmines.

as jy graag eendag met my wil trou Willem...vertrou net vir Jesus....ek sal ÁLTYD BAÍE LÍÉF wees vir jou...
What year was this please? .. my dad sang in the Albert hall…
I love the song and the choir. But there is something sad too about the song, it kind of reminds me that it would be sung at the death of a President. Don't know why I think that, maybe because it it around the anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination.

I agree with Sheila below
합창에도 여러가지 버젼이 있구나 한국에서 주로 공연하는 버젼과는 다르다
What does Shenandoah mean
I guess the name of the valley there.

How soothing after today all this screaming and filthy language of the so called "music".
With a group that big, it's hard to have everybody on exactly the same pitch. And this arrangement took unnecessary liberties with the traditional rhythms and in one case, pitch.
...oh times gone by...don't make em like this anymore..always a narcissist trying to lead
Beautiful, made me cry , amazing !!!
Same here👍
Where is the black people?
Paul Robeson is the brother of all men from Wales.
Let's be honest how many even auditioned for this. Cant get picked if no one is interested
saw the welsh proms in st David’s hall , many male choirs , one black person in the choir
Diverse group of old white men and older white men.
This made me cry but only because of its beauty and the emotions emulating from the choristers. God bless you all for providing us with such a moving piece of music. Beautiful xxx
