Deep River is a 5-minute work arranged for SSAA and piano by American composer Shawn Okpebholo. This beautiful arrangement of the famous traditional song of faith and hope brings calm alongside a sorrowful hope. The slow piano writing is as much an independent part as an accompaniment, helping to bring about a sense of peace and reflection.
Deep River was written for the Wheaton College Women's Chorale conducted by Mary Hopper.
