Into the Raging River

Par COHEN JONATHAN. Grow As A River for Flute Choir, by Jonathan Cohen. Composed for DCFlutes in celebration of their 10th Anniversary. This piece describes the life of a river from inception to maturity. It begins with tenuous drops from melting ice, slowly forming into a brook that playfully dances around rocks and over bumps until it becomes a majestic and peaceful flow. The idyll is shattered by a raging waterfall, the erratic motion and anarchy and terror are gradually replaced by the exhilaration and then peace of motion and arrival. Finally, there is proud celebration in the power and accomplishment and future of the fully mature river. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Flûtes

with I've Got Peace like a River-Uses: Children General Youth Scripture: Psalm 72:3 Isaiah 48:18 Isaiah 66:12 Here is an encouraging and positive statement of faith that will raise spirits from despair to hope. Taken from the inspiring poetic legacy of young peacemaker and author Mattie J.T. Stepanek this Heartsong is written with child-like wonder but with a profoundly deep understanding of human dreams and aspirations. Infused with a sense of community the ballad grows gradually into a statement of the well-known spiritual I've Got Peace Like a River offering an opportunity for congregational participation.
