Product Description

Down by the Riverside is a beautiful gospel song arranged here for Solo Alto Saxophone and Piano.

Down by the Riverside was sung in African-American communities before the American Civil War but did not appear in print until included in a 1918 collection of spirituals. Several versions were recorded by gospel choirs in the 20s and 30s, and Down by the Riverside, with its lyric, "I aint goin to study war no more", was adopted as an anti-war song by the 60s counterculture.

The standard is early intermediate. Players with a year or twos experience will enjoy playing Down by the Riverside . This gospel hymn is ideal for use in concerts or worship, formal or informal.
