PASSING BY THE RIVER is a poignant 4-minute work, equally suitable for orchestras of all levels, from student through professional. It is nostalgic, looking back at both triumph and loss. Okoye’s preface recounts being inspired by Copland’s spare, Americana style while in her teens, leading her to develop her own compositional voice. The work’s title is derived from Okoye’s poem, which shaped the music’s repeating hymn-like melody.
As we’re passing by the river,
Memories flood of moments past
Reverent sorrow mists to dew drops
Knowing he’s gone home at last.
