Garrison Keilor once observed that, every 15 minutes, somewhere in the United States, a choir commits Shenandoah:



Hat tip to The Standing Room.  This is not my favorite arrangement, due to its dominant chord dominance, a Mozartian prettiness that doesn't really belong in American Folk music (or anywhere, but that's another post).  However, this song was the highlight of Chanticleer's 2009 Ann Arbor performance—an unforgettable occasion, like all Chanticleer concerts—and the balance in that unenhanced setting was even better than engineers achieved in this video.
