Two very melancholic and popular folk songs from Russia and America are featured side by side in this arrangement by James Barralet.
Oh, You Steppe is a popular Russian folk tune over a heavy passacaglia bass.
The very dark key of A flat minor opens up into the slightly brighter but still heavy key of A flat major in Shenandoah, one of the all-time favorite American folk songs.
It is presented here as if sung by a male voice choir, with all rubato written in.
PDF download includes 8 cello parts and the full score.
