Par PRICE FLORENCE. Florence Price (1887-1953) is noted as the first African-American female composer of symphonic works, and is only in recent years beginning to receive the recognition so richly deserved. Her Symphony No. 1 was completed in 1932 and first performed in 1933 by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Here is a sparkling transcription for band of the third movement (Juba Dance).

Par PRICE FLORENCE / PERNA DANA (Arr.). Originally for piano, this lyric work is a shining presentation of Price\'s signature style. The first statement is in E-flat Major, then modulates to F Major. Although short, the piece requires mature musicality, secure intonation and vibrato from your ensemble, with delicate dynamics and rubato. There are brief solos for oboe and euphonium. / Date parution : 2022-09-20/ Répertoire / Concert Band
