This well-conceived spiritual medley opens gently, builds to its peak "love like an ocean" section, and then sweetly fades to the end. Along the way, tuneful counter-lines and unexpected pairings intertwine motives from three favourite traditional spirituals. Light instrumentation on the optional SoundTrax CD sounds distinctly American.

Medley:

• Down to the River to Pray
• Down By the Riverside
• Peace Like a River
