For lever or pedal harp and flute.

Paulette has arranged this American folk song for lever or pedal harp and flute or other "C" instruments. It is in the key of G (1 sharp), and requires two octaves below middle C. Lever harp players and will pre-set one F-natural, but there are no lever changes needed in the arrangement. Pedal changes are indicated. A very few fingerings are marked.
This 9-page PDF includes the 5-page flute and harp score and a 2-page flute part.

Here's how Paulette describes this arrangement.
The American folk song Shenandoah is a song full of longing for a lost love, in this case, a sailor who could not marry the daughter of the Native American chief of the Shenandoah Valley. The song was first published in the late 1800s and was sung by sailors who worked on the Missouri River. This arrangement aims to capture the ebb and flow of the water on the river.

I have been performing with my husband David, a flutist, for over 40 years and enjoy writing arrangements that showcase the two instruments. We live in the Los Angeles area, but we are in Tuscany every summer and perform at local music festivals at which I play exclusively on lever harp. My arrangements were developed out of the need for a more "concert-type" version of these folk songs and are suitable for a variety of occasions.

The video below is a slightly different arrangement than the music in the PDF.
