American hymn tune by Robert Lowry, minister and composer, arranged by Aaron Copland as part of his Old American Songs collection. Robin Hendrix, mezzo-soprano, sings with Michel Prezman, accompanying, April 20, 2009, at Campler auditorium in Perpignan, France. Broad, majestic hymn tune captures the ecstasy the faithful will experience when they gather at the river that flows by the throne of God, presumably after death. They will end their pilgrimage at the moment they cross that beautiful and shining river, where they will meet family and friends, and all toils and burdens shall be released. The crossing of rivers is a significant image in many religions, most famously the River Styx, in Greek mythology. • Mezzo-soprano Robin Hendrix is a concert artist, author, and teacher. Her book, How to Sing Like the Great Singers, sets out the means by which the Great Singers of the operatic and concert stage created and maintained their beautiful voices, and describes how a motivated singer can arrive at the same results. The book came about by necessity. After “hitting the wall” in middle age, a common event for natural singers, Robin found it increasingly difficult to rehearse her usual concert repertoire and she went looking for answers. Finding no help from gurus or experts, she set out on her own to find the secrets of a free and easy production of the lyric voice. She found the answers and more.

Robin lives with her husband, composer/pianist Michel Prezman, in Serdinya, a little village in the south of France. • Robin Hendrix est fondatrice et directrice du Centre pour la Formation de la Voix, à Serdinya, France.
