Down to the River to Pray-SATB

this was a very challenging piece for my students. We performed it without accompaniment, so each key change had to be memorized. Each verse, the harmonies are just enough different, that the students had to really concentrate throughout. The students LOVED the piece and were successful in their performance.

My Choir Enjoyed Singing this arrangement

We asked a local talent to come play the guitar for us. Rehearsal was simple and the congregation loved the piece. Did it for the Baptism of Jesus Sunday. We will use it again. Simple, yet nice harmonies and easy key changes.
