A River Trilogy (c/b) John O'Reilly

A River Trilogy provides a wonderful opportunity for first year bands to work on legato style. After an original introduction, the full ensemble plays the African-American spiritual Deep River. A clarinet and flute duet ushers in the early English folk song The Water is Wide, and the full band concludes with a lovely treatment of the American classic Shenandoah.
