The River
by Brian Doerksen
Vocal Duet - Digital Sheet Music

This beautiful, contemporary worship song by BRIAN DOERKSEN, MICHAEL HANSEN, and BRIAN THIESSEN is arranged as a SOPRANO and ALTO duet with PIANO accompaniment. The gently rhythmic style of this vocal arrangement creates a reverent, yet upbeat and uplifting atmosphere and is an ideal selection for any church setting; especially during Lent or for baptisms and communion services.

This SOPRANO and ALTO duet arrangement begins in the key of F major, then transitions to the key of G major for the final verse and chorus. The first verse begins with the SOPRANO and ALTO singing solo for one phrase each, then the SOPRANO leads with the melody for the remainder of the verse and chorus while the ALTO adds a straight-forward, non-complex harmony. For the final verse, the two parts sing unison for the opening phrase, followed by parts for the remainder of the verse and chorus.

The vocal ranges are as follows: SOPRANO ~ C4 to E5; ALTO ~ A3 to B4. The audio sample begins at the pickup to measure 6 after the piano introduction.

To purchase multiple copies for 2-part choral use, this arrangement is available separately at a reduced price.  

The purchase price includes these printing options:
1. a grand staff (10 pages) with all parts on each page
