Peace Like a River is a beloved historical spiritual and hymn that reflects a deep, resilient sense of inner peace. In this imaginative arrangement, composer Anthony R. Green brings the song to life by having the string ensemble speak the lyrics and musically paint the images of flowing water — from a gentle river to a fountain and the vast ocean.
The accompanying Curriculum Guide offers ready-to-use lesson plans designed to strengthen string techniques and storytelling through music. Educators will find adaptable activities and listening exercises that deepen ensemble skills while connecting students to the song’s historical and emotional context.
