H.T. Burleigh - Deep River

[45oldbear]

Lovely; much encouragement, full, rich, even tone. The best was at the B section, where I really felt the power of the Holy Spirit. The initial A section was a little tentative with entrances, etc. Sing it right to God. It is an intimate, the MOST intimate conversation of life. More dynamic variation will flow from that- you have the rest. Godspeed, brother.

This is the best version of Deep River I've ever heard! I love Jesus.

To cyclone10: if your great uncle is Harry Thacker Burleigh then you're lucky to have such a great figure in your life but I'm afraid he only arranged Deep River. It's a traditional song the composer of which is unknown. He did a lot to make it a well known song but write it he didn't. Sorry.

[markwilde1970]

Lovely singing and a lovely arrangement. Well done.

Thank you for reviving this beautiful piece of music for me.

[whiteliketar]

nice job man. I find all my anger against christianity getting less and less when listen to something like this. The story of his sacrifice seems like it could indeed recsue me from my own rage.

[cyclone10]

[Tonacity]
