Product Description
2016 Holiday Contest Entry.
I wish you the greatest pleasure
playing this arrangement of one of the greatest Afro-American spirituals of all
times. Down by the Riverside predates the American Civil War. Its
strong anti-war message ("I ain't gonna study war no more")
made it a standard during the period of the civil rights movement and among the
protesters against the Vietnam war in the 1960's and 1970's.
I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you enjoy this, you are welcome to try some of my other arrangements. You can see them at

I have also arranged three songs from the Holocaust, which I arranged and distribute for free on IMSLP. You can find them at

If you need arrangements of any of these songs for special combinations of instruments, feel free to contact me at
mailto:yoelepst@gmail.com
and I will try to accommodate.
