The Deep River Collection demonstrates the brilliance of Moses Hogan. All of the arrangements are magnificent and definitely show the range of a soprano. I only wish that there were more arrangements in the Collection, but it is well worth it.

I am a high school choral director so I am quite familiar with Mr. Hogan's choral arrangements. When I saw this product, I figured I should give it a try. The settings of the spirituals are spectacular. The vocal lines are simply beautiful, filled with lyric, emotional power. Accompanists will love these arrangments as well. They are challenging enough for an intermediate player but offer enough freedom for the accomplished musician to augment as she or he sees fit. I have sung some of these songs in sacred and secular environments and the reaction to them has been enthusiastic, to say the least. I attribute that more to the arrangements than my performance! If you love to sing spirituals, this collection needs to be in your library.
