Down the River

Two-part          Three-part

What young man isn't intrigued with the river and all it offers?  This American "riverboat song" is especially suited for boys, both in voicing and with text.  In the three-part setting, Part I is best suited for Male Treble and/or Cambaita I , A-a.  Part II is best suited for Cambiata II, E-e.  Part III is arranged to fit the early adolescent Baritone, AA [C] - d. Optional notes have been added for the higher baritone, C-d. 

In the two-part setting, Part I is written for Male Treble and Cambiata I, and Part II is best suited for the Cambiata II and early adolescent Baritones.

 

All-boys choirs are not the only voicings for which  it is suitable.  Check the two-part or the  three-part  variable voicing charts to see the other voicings with which it may be used
