The River (Elgar)
''The River'' is a song written by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1909 as his Op.60, No.2. On the title-page it is described as a "Folk-Song (Eastern Europe), paraphrased by Pietro d’Alba and Edward Elgar". It was one of a set of a cycle of four songs that he planned, to his own words. It was shortly after writing the song '' A Child Asleep'' for Muriel Foster, a few days before the Christmas of 1909 that Elgar received the news of the death of a friend the soprano Olga Ouroussoff, the young wife of Henry Wood. The inspiration for the songs was the result of this news. Only the first song of the cycle, '' The Torch'' and the last, ''The River'' were written. It was orchestrated in July 1912 and, with its companion song '' The Torch'', it was first performed by Muriel Foster at the Hereford Music Festival on 11 September 1912. A footnote to the poem explains the personification of the invoked river. The tempo of the music is an appropriately dramatic ''Allegro co ...

The River (Ali Farka Touré Album)
''The River'' is a studio album by Malian singer and multi-instrumentalist Ali Farka Touré. It was recorded in sessions at Studio Bolibana in Paris, and at the London-based Cold Storage Studios and Garden Studios. The album was released by the UK-based World Circuit label and distributed internationally by Mango Records. Critical reception Reviewing the album for ''The Village Voice'', Robert Christgau gave it an A-minus and applauded its attempts to cross over in the form of "tracks colored with harmonica, saxophone, fiddle and bodhran, and the single-stringed njarka that Touré picks up for the finale--not to mention an extra edge of vocal command." Overall, the album offered a "variety, not compromise", that Christgau believed Touré had needed on his earlier recordings, which "drifted into the folkloric". In an interview for Guy Oseary's '' On the Record'' (2004), music entrepreneur and record collector Craig Kallman named ''The River'' among his 15 favorite records. ...
