Deep River (2003)
“The
amazing men of Cantus weave their usual spell, with singing of unimaginable
precision, sensitivity and deep emotional power.” - American
Record Guide
Deep River is a treasury of African-American Spirituals.
This album features some of the most beloved American folk songs such
as “Ezekiel Saw de Wheel,” “Were You There,” “Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Soon Ah Will Be Done.” Deep
River also delves into the roots of American roots music by exclusively
featuring music by the preeminent first and second-generation African-American
composers - Harry T. Burleigh, William Dawson, John W. Work and Jester
Hairston - in both well known and long forgotten arrangements of these
immortal songs. Recorded in 24-bit sound, Deep River is a treat for the
ears and a balm for the soul.
