Matilda Durham/arr. William Averitt - Walton Music
The Promised Land (On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand)
The fourth and final movement from Averitt's collection of American shape note folk songs and hymns. This setting is presented with a festival style four hand piano accompaniment that establishes a fast and lively rhythmic feel for the up-beat tune. The melody and harmonies are traditional, with a healthy amount of unison and two-part singing, followed by sections of divisi, descant and open harmonies to create a truly cultural early Americana experience.
