Philip Kern is a master at arranging well-loved hymns in an exciting way. One of his arrangements The Glory of His Promises was a top-seller when first released. Now he offers two traditional hymns in His River HisPeace – “It Is Well with My Soul” and “Peace Like a River.” We frequently receive requests for arrangements of old hymns and this gentle SATB arrangement will go a long way to fill that need.Ladies begin with “It is Well with My Soul ” then men enter singing “Peace Like a River” with all four parts completing the verse. Then a combining of the two hymns majestically crescendos to a fortissimoconclusion followed by a tender repeat of the final phrase. Glorious.

This creative setting of the familiar African-American spiritual Deep River places a traditional, major melody within a harmonically minor context. This approach allows two contrasting ideas to be juxtaposed: the oppressiveness of slavery (depicted by the ponderous piano accompaniment) and the hope of deliverance (inherent in the melody itself). The result of this conflict directs our thoughts to a personal longing for eternal peace. 8 pages Published by: Zimbel Press Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.
