Published by David McKeown (A0.589918).Down by the Riverside is an Afro-American Spiritual Hymn and Song. This version is arranged as a duet for one Oboe and one Clarinet.
Down by the Riverside was sung in African-American communities before the American Civil War but did not appear in print until included in a 1918 collection of spirituals. Several versions were recorded by gospel choirs in the ‘20s and ‘30s, and Down by the Riverside, with its lyric, "I ain’t goin’ to study war no more", was adopted as an anti-war song by the ‘60s counterculture.
Down by the Riverside is simply arranged in a key and range best suited to the instruments. Three choruses and two verses are played, with variations, in a gospel swing style. Click the link above to listen to a full Youtube performance of the Clarinet version of this duet.
