Composed by Traditional Spiritual. Arranged by Brenda Dillon. This edition: pdf. Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Dillon's Music Group #6013065. Published by Dillon's Music Group (A0.918265).
The Water Is Wide and Wade in the Water suggest a uniting of a folk song and a spiritual. The Water Is Wide is a folk song of Scottish origin and Wade in the Water is a spiritual that contains explicit instructions to fugitive slaves on how to avoid capture and which routes to take to successfully make their way to freedom. Escaping in water was a strategy to throw pursuing bloodhounds off one's trail. They were encouraged to follow these directions: Wade in the water, Wade in the water children, Wade in the water, God's gonna trouble the water. (included in Brenda Dillon's African American Collection).
