Flowing. Reflective. Timeless. Like the ever-moving waters it portrays, The River carries listeners on a journey through life’s stages playful innocence, steady resolve, and the swift pull of the unknown. Set to Caroline Anne Bowles’ evocative poetry, this lyrical choral work captures the river’s transformation, from a sparkling stream to a silent current racing toward eternity.
With graceful lines and a natural ebb and flow, The River is both deeply expressive and effortlessly approachable. A piece that invites singers and audiences alike to reflect, to listen, and to follow the water’s course wherever it may lead.
