James Erb 美國民謠 本曲為膾炙人口的美國民謠，曲名「雪納朵」是一條河及其河谷的名稱（Shenandoah River, Shenandoah Valley），位於維吉尼亞州密蘇里河畔，亦是曲中主人翁的故鄉。在南北戰爭中，雪納朵之役為南北軍相爭維吉尼亞的重要戰爭，結果南軍大敗。編曲者艾爾布（James Erb, 1926-）運用和聲與對位曲風交織的手法，將它改編為無伴奏混聲四部合唱曲。旋律優美而綿密，全曲充滿了濃郁的鄉愁與永無止境的思念。 Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, And hear your rolling river, Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. I long to see your smiling valley, And hear your rolling river, I long to see your smiling valley, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. Tis sevn long years since last I see you, And hear your rolling river, Tis sevn long years since last I see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 自相別後已漫漫七年 不得復聞妳流水滾滾 自相別後已漫漫七年 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河  less

The choir consists of participants in workshop weeks, which are offered twice a year in different European countries. Overtone singing is a new vocal technique that allows for singing two tones simultaneously. EOC sings compositions with written overtones as well as choir improvisations and contemporary music. The effect of controlled overtones on the timbre of classical choir compositions is explored with special ear training.

The Riverfront Times writes that the “eight members of Octarium go beyond raising their voices together in song; their voices warp and weave together, coalescing as a single instrument of tremendous power and depth. Octarium wields this might gracefully, never overpowering, opting instead to revel in the pliancy of the human voice.” In addition to a Kansas City...    less
