Video Title:
Elizabeth Mitchell & Friends - "Sing Hallelu" [Live in The Pewter Shop at The Ashokan Center]
Description:
Watch Elizabeth Mitchell & Friends perform "Sing Hallelu" recorded live in The Pewter Shop at The Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, New York. The song is featured on Mitchell's Smithsonian Folkways album 'The Sounding Joy.' This video features intricate harp accompanying Mitchell and husband Daniel Littleton’s harmonies. "Daniel thought the chords in this arrangement would sound beautiful on the harp. I have always loved the harp arrangements that Zeena Parkins did for Bjork, and I think that Ruth Crawford Seeger's arrangements would sound right at home in such a modern, experimental music context."
