About this arrangement

SATB Choir & Piano SKU: SU.80101171 For SATB Choir & Piano. Composed by Raymond Weidner. Vocal/Choral, Sacred Choral. Choral Octavo. Zimbel Press #80101171. Published by Zimbel Press (SU.80101171). This creative setting of the familiar African-American spiritual Deep River places a traditional, major melody within a harmonically minor context. This approach allows two contrasting ideas to be juxtaposed: the oppressiveness of slavery (depicted by the ponderous piano accompaniment) and the hope of deliverance (inherent in the melody itself). The result of this conflict directs our thoughts to a personal longing for eternal peace. 8 pages Published by: Zimbel Press Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.
