Based on the African-American Spiritual Peace Like a River

Words and Music by Thom Yorke, Jonathan Greenwood, Philip Selway, Colin Greenwood, Edward O'Brien, Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood / arr. Chris M. Bernotas
00-50447
Belwin Symphonic Band
Grade: 4
This creative arrangement, by Robert Sheldon, embarks on a stylistic journey, reinterpreting "Peace Like a River" with big-band and Dixieland flair. It opens with a flowing serenity, ventures through a New Orleans-style rendition, then shifts to a 1940s big band sound. This imaginative setting, also quoting "Shenandoah," builds to a majestic, uplifting conclusion.
