Deep River - Choral

Plank Road Publishing

The first known publication of this spiritual dates back to 1876. In 1917, African American composer and singer Harry T. Burleigh, a student and friend of Antonin Dvorak, created a very popular version of the song, and it has since become one of the best-known and best-loved spirituals of our time. It would be ideal for historical discussions, especially during African American History Month. Our setting is a traditional 3-part mixed arrangement, with two treble parts and a part in the bass clef that works well with boys' voices that have changed or are in the process of changing, and girls with a lower range. The piece can also be done in unison.

Our Plank Road Publishing octavos save you the time spent copying and binding and come in the convenient octavo size (7.0" x 10.25") used by choirs. (Please note: These octavos are NOT reproducible.)

Please note: Although the text may mention downloadable products and Convenience Combo Kits, dealers may purchase the print product only.
