This is a thrilling, high-energy piece that includes body-percussion and sound effects to convey the atmosphere of the fast-moving river—a superb finale or encore in a concert. Some of the rhythms in the chorus look challenging on the page, but they repeat and may be best learned by ear. The melody needs to be sung with attention to the line, despite the fact that it looks very rhythmical. This will help bring out the text and give a sense of being carried along on the powerful river current.
