Like a River Glorious (HL 293157)

This arrangement lends new perspective on a treasured hymn of the faith through use of impressionistic writing that brings the text alive. Beginning with measured pacing and a singular dialogue between piano and choir, the arranger has considered each phrase with thoughtful grace. The anthem displays an impressive exploration of lower vocal registers, adding a sonic richness to the soundscape of the anthem. Directors will find many opportunities for rubato and expressive freedom as they nurture this piece from their singers.
