River Songs

Douglas Wagner's poignant work is based on Deep River and Shall We Gather At The River, but goes much further than merely quoting those tunes. The music expresses the gentle flowing of the river with melodic lines traveling through the orchestra. The songs are hopeful, joyous and universally appealing. Your musicians will love bringing out the subtle beauty within this music, which is playable by strings alone or with any combination of winds and brass.
