River Medley - A pull-out from the collection "Extra-Special Spirituals" this medley includes "Down by the Riverside," "I've Got Peace Like a River" and "Roll, Jordan Roll." Lots of fun technique is used to "jazz" up the riverside, alternating accompaniment simulates rippling in the peaceful river and the shake technique "rolls" things along in the Jordan! Seventy-four measures in length.

Rock of Ages Cleft for Me - Through the use of martellato and the martellato-lift techniques, a feeling of "solidness" is built up in the introduction and later in the interlude of this setting of the old gospel hymn. The dotted-rhthm melody appears in treble and bass registers and to imitative textures. A full, strong chord ends the piece.
