Deep River Medley (Steal Away – Nobody Knows – Deep River)
Three Afro-American spirituals arranged for recorder orchestra at 8 foot pitch (tenor 1&2/bass 1&2/great bass 1&2/contra bass 1&2/sub great bass/ sub contra bass).
Songs such as "Steal Away to Jesus", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Wade in the Water" and the "Gospel Train" are songs with hidden codes, not only about having faith in God, but containing hidden messages for slaves to run away on their own, or with the Underground Railroad. The song was composed by Wallace Willis and his daughter Minerva Willis, slaves of a Choctaw freedman in the old Indian Territory, sometime before 1862. Alexander Reid, a minister at a Choctaw boarding school, heard Willis singing the songs and transcribed the words and melodies. He sent the music to the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. The Jubilee Singers then popularized the songs during a tour of the United States and Europe.
"Nobody Knows (the Trouble I've Seen)" is an African-American spiritual song that originated during the period of slavery but was not published until 1867.
"Deep River" is an anonymous African-American spiritual, popularized by Henry Burleigh in his 1916 collection Jubilee Songs of the USA. (Wikipedia)
My harmonisations of No. 1 Steal Away and No.3 Deep River owe a debt to the masterful versions of these spirituals by Sir Michael Tippett in his 1941 oratorio A Child of Our Time.
