GUEST,Elmore Jenkins | Shenandoah and free melodies (8) | RE: Shenandoah and free melodies | 15 May 00 |
Just cruising through, hope you don't mind a thought--this song, and many other popular folk songs became familiar through performce by classical artists, like Paul Robeson, who performed classical arrangements, not folk arrangements. Always have been curious what the first collectors really heard, because a lot of evened melodies out and ironed them flat, too! |
