Lord, I Walked
2008. Northern Harmony
Northern Harmony's 2007 European tour began with two weeks in residence in Corsica, where Jean Etienne Langianni of Ensemble Tavagna taught the piquant set of Coriscan songs featured on this album. Lord, I Walked also features gospel quartet and Appalachian harmonies (led by Ken Shimizu), traditional Georgian, South African and Genoese trallalero (led by Patty Cuyler), Balkan and Ukranian songs (led by Eva Primak), shape-note and renaissance pieces (led by Larry Gordon), and a Quebecois song (led by Will Thomas).
Northern Harmony
October 5 - November 23, 2008
Concerts in the UK, France, Germany and Switzerland
Northern Harmony is composed of some of the most talented veterans of other Village Harmony performing ensembles; each tour draws together a new mix of our best 'veteran' vocalists and instrumentalists. The group is particularly renowned for its command of varied world ethnic singing styles, from the hearty and ultra bright Bulgarian “hard voice” to the equally powerful, but darker and more sonorous Georgian timbre, from the rich, mellifluous South African style or the wild and unrestrained American shape-note sound to a delicate, pure, early music timbre.
