36 Voices Come Together Beautifully In A 'Virtual' Performance Of 'Down To The River To Pray'

The beloved hymn ‘Down To The River To Pray’ sounds absolutely amazing when sung by a "virtual choir" made up of 36 voices. What a brilliant idea!

The coronavirus pandemic 2020 caused many people to self-quarantine. And during these times, it is so important to find joy in the small moments each day.

That’s why Tiffany Goodrick decided to add some smiles to the world. And she did so by creating a virtual choir.

36 Women Band Together To Form Virtual Choir

Together, these 36 women belted out the words to classic.

“As I went down in the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the starry crown

Good Lord, show me the way!”

When describing the concept, Tiffany wrote on YouTube saying, “The 36 voices you hear were all recorded separately at different times and in different locations. Each woman had only the melody playing in her ear and then sang the part that she wanted, no music was written out. All videos were recorded using cell phones.”

It is so incredible to see all of these talented vocalists come together to sing the iconic words of ‘Down To The River To Pray.’

“O sisters, let's go down,

Let's go down, come on down

O sisters, let's go down

Down in the river to pray”

During these troubling times, it is so important to remember to turn to God with all of our worries or questions. He will always be there to hold us in His arms and keep us safe from any harm.
