Commissioned by the Pickens County (GA) Middle School Band on the occasion of the band program being split into separate schools, this marvelous composition for young players explores the emotions of separation. Sam uses the analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its identity yet becomes two separate entities. Three themes are presented individually then come together in grand fashion at the end.

Masterful Scoring for Expressive Ensemble
Samuel R. Hazo demonstrates superb orchestration in "Rivers." For a Grade 2 concert band, the way themes are introduced individually and then brought together showcases exceptional ensemble texture management. It effectively supports the evolving emotional narrative, ensuring that no single section overpowers but rather contributes to a rich, cohesive sound. A great piece for developing nuanced band performance.
