Deep River: 2-Part Choir

This in an outstanding collection of twelve African-American spirituals arranged for upper voices. Rosephanye and William C. Powell have collaborated with some of the most talented and respected spiritual arrangers in the United States to deliver specially commissioned authentic settings. You'll find familiar melodies such as 'Deep River' and 'Somebody's knockin' at yo' do'' alongside lesser-known spirituals and a range of styles and moods extending from the aspirational to the celebratory. Many of the arrangements include a 'lead voice' part allowing the opportunity for solo singing and idiomatic piano parts support the voices for the accompanied spirituals; pianoreductions are included for the unaccompanied arrangements. This inspirational journey through the African-American spiritual tradition is sure to captivate and delight all upper-voice choirs.Arrangements in tow three or four parts'Lead Voice' parts for three arrangementsAccompanied and unaccompaniedPiano reductions for a capella arrangementsAuthentic arrangements by specialistsRange of styles and moods Edited by Rosephanye Powell and William C.
