The Deep River Collection: High Voice (Vocal Library)

Beautiful collection by Moses Hogan, his work is amazing. These gospel solos are perfect for high soprano voices, such a treasured find!

This is a truly wonderful song collection. VERY well written.The accompaniment is lovely, very pianistic, rich and unique. I accompany myself when I sing, and it is truly a pleasure to play these beautiful, flowing songs. Interesting brief interludes between "verses" that are not only interesting to hear, but good opportunities for the singer to prepare. The vocal part is excellent for a soprano voice! Quite a few high B flats, and some lower parts as well, down to a B flat below middle C ... nice tessitura for me, as well. These songs are versatile, most could be done at any time of the year. Give Me Jesus and Deep River are nice selections for funeral services, or just anytime.Highly recommended!

I am a high school choral director so I am quite familiar with Mr. Hogan's choral arrangements. When I saw this product, I figured I should give it a try. The settings of the spirituals are spectacular. The vocal lines are simply beautiful, filled with lyric, emotional power. Accompanists will love these arrangments as well. They are challenging enough for an intermediate player but offer enough freedom for the accomplished musician to augment as she or he sees fit. I have sung some of these songs in sacred and secular environments and the reaction to them has been enthusiastic, to say the least. I attribute that more to the arrangements than my performance! If you love to sing spirituals, this collection needs to be in your library.

Excellent

As I said with the Burleigh, I knew what I was getting when I ordered this. These arrangements make for a nice change from the more simplistic Burleigh and Johnson arrangements. I look forward to using these for recitals in the future.

I love this book, it has some good arrangement of songs. The only thing is the paper used to print the music is so hard.

As requested

As expected and I delivered on time.
