Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Philip Le Bas. This edition: pdf, streaming. Gospel, Sacred, Spiritual. Score. 3 pages. Philip Le Bas #6120843. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.818182)."Deep river, my home is over Jordan. I want to cross over into camp ground. Oh, don't you want to go to that gospel feast, that promised land where all is peace? Deep river, my home is over Jordan. I want to cross over into camp ground."
The River Jordan is not in fact very deep, nor is it very wide. However, the longing to cross over it into "camp ground" in the "promised land" is very deep indeed! Based on the biblical story of Moses and the tribes of Israel wandering in the desert for forty years, this song is about exile and yearning for somewhere to belong. It applies to everyone, not just to the African-Americans who first sang this song, with their own history of heartache over so many centuries. Anyone who feels alienated by life and who is searching for inner peace is invited to respond to its soulfulness. Surprisingly - says the song - there are those who don't want to go "to that gospel feast". But the song just continues its own search for the promised peace, convinced that the answer lies deep within us, perhaps across our own, personal "deep river".
The old African-American Spiritual "Deep River" is here set for piano solo in a relatively straightforward arrangement, based on the arranger's own barbershop quartet setting of the same song. It is to be played soulfully!
