NOMADMan	Lyr Req: Green Grass of Shiloh by Robert Beers (4)	RE: Lyr Req: Green Grass of Shiloh by Robert Beers	14 Jun 12
Evelyne and Bob Beers recorded this on their 1972 Biograph LP "The Golden Skein." According to the liner notes: "This was written by Bob and Evelyne Beers after a visit to the Shiloh battlefield. The musical theme is taken from the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven, and was adapted on the one hundredth anniversary of that tragedy." I don't know if there are any recordings of the song subsequent to this LP. The melody is indeed instantly recognizable as a bit of Beethoven's 6th. Regards, John
