Price: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4, by Florence Price
About the album:
Florence Price was born in little rock, Arkansas and studied at the new England conservatory, but it was in Chicago that her composing career accelerated. The concert in 1933 at which her Symphony No. 1 in E minor was premiered was the first time a major American orchestra had performed a piece written by an African American woman. Influenced by Dvořák and Coleridge-Taylor, she drew on the wellspring of Negro spirituals and vernacular dances, full of lyricism and syncopation. the Symphony No. 4 in D minor demonstrates her tight ensemble writing, her distinct sense of orchestral colour, her Ellingtonian ‘jungle style’ language and her penchant for the ‘juba’ dance.
