This arrangement by British composer Andy Wareham is of the popular hymn 'Mid all the Traffic, which marries the North-American folksong 'Shenandoah' set to lyrics by English journalist, novelist and poet William Arthur Dunkerley (written under the pseudonym of John Oxenham).
Alternative view
The arranger writes: "This setting was originally composed during the Covid-19 pandemic as an octet arrangement for single instrument.
My hope was to create an arrangement that offers an alternative view on harmony and could be multi-track recorded to allow performers to give, and share, a performance whilst in isolation.
The music was written in dedication to all of the 'key-workers' in the UK, especially in the NHS, who worked tirelessly throughout difficult conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic."
