"Shenandoah" is an online music project with 31 musicians from USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Austria and Germany playing mountain dulcimer, hammered dulcimer and bowed psaltery.
The idea for it was posted 2 months ago in relevant dulcimer facebook groups and forums in the USA and Germany.
Within few days around 45 musicians have shown interest to take part and based on a facebook survey with 19 traditional folk tune proposals the lovely tune "Shenandoah" became the winner.
For easy communication the facebook group "Online Music Projects - Dulcimer & more" has been created for this and further projects.
Only the following specifications for the recordings were given: Key of D, tempo of 60 bpm, 3 rounds of playing.
After I have received recordings from 31 musicians I have taken 2 measures of everybody and have placed them in a row in order to create these 5 rounds of "Shenandoah" followed by a wonderful outro.
It was a great pleasure and joy for me and I hope that you like the music and video as much as I do.
