Synopsis

Product Description
Following the Billboard Classical chart-topper Come to the River (AVR 2205), which conjured early 19th-century rural Americana, Apollo s Fire presents an award-winning program created by director Jeannette Sorrell, which follows the joys and sorrows of Celtic immigrants who settled in Appalachia. Sparkling fiddle tunes and haunting ballads of the British Isles mingled with American shapenote hymns and African spirituals, creating the soulful music known as Appalachian. Passing through love and loss, dancing and prayer, the music overflows in celebration as the people of the mountains raise their communal voices.
