Few young people live closer together than do band members, as they work together, laugh together and cry together through the years of their involvement in musical activities. It is sad indeed when death strikes. RIVER SONGS was commissioned to commemorate the lives of two such young musicians (one white and one African-American). These two appropriate works, DEEP RIVER and SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER, were chosen as witness to our common bonds in this life and beyond. (duration 3:50).

Grim oaldo Macchia is one of Europe's most popular composers and arrangers of sacred organ music. In this volume, he applies his vibrant style to thirteen hymns that originate from the USA. Included are traditional folk hymns (such as “What Wondrous Love Is This†and “Amazing Graceâ€) as well as later-composed tunes of American origin (such as “To God Be the Glory!†and “Shall We Gather at the Riverâ€). Crafted with a fresh perspective on these hymns, Macchia’s brief pieces will make for delightful preludes, offertories, and postludes throughout the church year.
