I created this background in BIAB. I created one version that was sung in a higher key, but some people wanted to hear me sing it in a lower key. Rob4580, and TuneMonger so here is a lower key that I sang it in. Enjoy! Let me know what you think do you like the Higher Key or the Lower Key.

Here is Oh Shenandoah Oh Shenandoah Higher Key

Here is Oh Shenandoah in the Lower Key Oh Shenandoah


Here Are The Lyrics

Lyrics

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, your rolling river
For her I cross your rolling waters
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Took seven years since last I've seen you
Away, you rolling river
Took seven years since last I've seen you
Away we're bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away we're bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to feel you,
Far Away, your rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, just to be near you
Far Away, Far away across the wide Missouri

Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

I thought the lower one was much better. But I'm just one set of ears, it will be interesting to see what others think. Very nicely done!

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
