Same selection for trombone sextet or SSATBB choir.
One of the best known American spirituals is Deep River. One cannot argue against the beauty of the tune.
I hate to tell you this, but there is no wood in these woodwinds.
This setting is for six saxes. It is a direct transcription of the third movement of the Slide Suite, transposed for the various members of the sax family.
The six parts are for three altos, two tenors, and one baritone. There are two alternate parts: fourth alto substitutes for first tenor, and clarinet or soprano sax substitutes for first alto. Considering you could also use an alto clarinet to subsitute for one of the alto saxes, and possibly a bass clarinet for one of the tenors, I'm not sure how many possible combinations there are, but I would suggest the best effect would be to do it with all saxes (no clarinets) if at all possible.

Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Oh, deep river,
I want to cross over into campground.
Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Oh, deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
And when I get to heaven, I will take my seat,
And cast my crown at Jesus' feet.
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.

A customer commented: "This was a first for me: downloading a book instead of buying it in paper form. The cost of the book in this format was less than many firms charge for shipping an item. I had not a single glitch and I would buy another book in this format with no reservations. Tributek did a good job."
Another customer commented: "I would like to compliment you on the ease of purchasing music on-line. I require the music for a wedding in a couple of weeks, and didn't want to wait for music to be sent in the mail. It was great to be able to hear the music and to know the length of the PDF file and performance time."
Another customer writes: "I bought some choral music off your site. It's great. I hope we can do all of it in our church. I don't know how you can sell it so cheap. It's a great service you offer."
