Down by the Riverside is an Afro-American Spiritual Hymn and Song. This version is arranged as a duet for two Violins.

Down by the Riverside was sung in African-American communities before the American Civil War but did not appear in print until included in a 1918 collection of spirituals. Several versions were recorded by gospel choirs in the ‘20s and ‘30s, and Down by the Riverside, with its lyric, I ain’t goin’ to study war no more, was adopted as an anti-war song by the ‘60s counterculture.

Down by the Riverside is simply arranged in a key and range best suited to the instruments. Three choruses and two verses are played, with variations, in a gospel swing style. Click the link above to listen to a full Youtube performance of the Clarinet version of this duet.

Down by the Riverside is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above. With a performance time of around three minutes, this version of Down by the Riverside is perfect for worship and concert performances, both formal and informal.
