S DANCE is a
jazz-influenced rag from
1921, and among the only
surviving compositions by
Nora Douglas Holt. A
charming and exciting
work rejuvenated by Lara
Downes’ 2021
recording for the Rising
Sun label, the rag is
both a fun 2 minutes for
pianists and audiences,
and also a fascinating
time capsule. Composed
several years after Scott
Joplin’s death,
and several years before
the Charleston pervaded
popular music,
NORA’S DANCE
blossoms with the energy
and jazz harmony starting
to emerge as The Roaring
20’s, using
ragtime and stride as the
seed for pianistic
style. My own life in
music has been driven by
a quest to find strong
female role models,
trails to follow,
shoulders to stand on. In
Nora Douglas Holt, I find
an inspiring example of
creativity, independence,
and resilience –
with a dash of
troublemaking. She was a
free spirit, a force of
nature, and she lived a
fascinating and eventful
life on her own terms.
She reinvented herself
through five marriages
and at least as many
careers. From her
beginnings at the piano
at age four, she explored
many avenues of musical
expression –
performing, composing,
music journalism,
broadcasting, teaching
– all with
inventiveness, style, and
zeal.She made the most of
the Roaring ’20s,
as an artist, socialite,
jetsetter, muse, and
patroness of the Harlem
Renaissance. In 1921 she
started an independent
arts journal called
“Music and
Poetry,†where the
charming piano solo
Nora’s Dance was
first published. I think
the piece captures
beautifully, in a little
under 2 minutes, the
energy and excitement of
those heady years.In
1926, Nora left New York
to travel the world,
performing in nightclubs
throughout Europe and
Asia. She put her
belongings in storage
before she left, and when
she came back she
discovered that many of
her things had been
stolen, including more
than 200 of her musical
compositions. She never
composed again.When the
Depression hit, she moved
out to Los Angeles, where
she studied music
education at USC, taught
music in the LA public
schools, and opened her
own beauty salon. She
returned to New York in
the ’40s and
worked as a music critic
for several major
newspapers, then launched
yet another career, this
time in broadcasting. Her
popular radio concert
series “Nora
Holt’s Concert
Showcase†broadcast
to New York’s
classical music audience,
with a focus on Black
composers and
performers.Ahead of her
time, larger than life,
full of ideas…. I
am so pleased to
introduce you to the
feisty and free spirited

9790550114562. Thre
e Strides of Light is
inspired by the light and
its behaviour in
different circumstances,
appearances and
surroundings. The work is
in three movements, but
they are played together
attacca. The
first movement starts off
with a headstrong theme
on the left hand. This
motif has persistent
momentum, like a train,
and one could think of it
as the rays of a setting
sun. The beams are
straight and relentlessly
penetrate our eyes. The
seven-bar repetition on
the left hand supports
this mental image, until
the repetition ends and a
new thematically central
motive starts to emerge,
bringing new kind of
texture for the last rays
and dance of the setting
sun. At the end, the
light vanishes into the
night. Second
movemement, slow rubato,
depicts the first rays of
the rising sun, they drop
behind a morning cloud
into the day, growing,
developing and becoming
yet faster. Eventually
the day opens up in all
of it sunny glory. The
music leads us towards
the third movement, in
which one bathes in the
rays of the sun. The
repetative motive of the
first movement returns,
but by now it has been
transformed into
something else. A pensive
quintuplet-passage
emerges, paving ground
for the final themes of
the work. The ending of
the work is thick in
sound, depicting the
relentless glare of the
sun and the heat sun
creates. Within the
entire work, one can
imagine to have gone
through a whole 24-hour
period on the sea, in
which the three strides
of light are apparent in
different parts of the
day. $27.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

major. LOVE WILL
FIND A WAY is one of the
great hits of the 1920s
– an era of
remarkable cultural
growth giving rise to
“The Roaring
'20s,†“The
Harlem
Renaissance,†and a
fun-loving society known
for the Charleston dance
craze and the surge of
jazz into the mainstream
of American music. A song
from Shuffle Along, the
first all-Black Broadway
musical, LOVE WILL FIND A
WAY has been arranged by
pianist Jeremy Siskind
especially for Lara
Downes’ recording
that launches the Rising
Sun series. According
to Langston Hughes, Eubie
Blake’s 1921
Shuffle Along was the
real start of the Harlem
Renaissance. In
Hughes’ words:
“Everybody was in
the audience, including
me. It gave just the
proper push, a
pre-Charleston kick, to
that Negro vogue of the
'20s that spread to
books, African sculpture,
music, and
dancing.â€As
Broadway’s first
all-Black hit musical,
with an all-star cast
including Paul Robeson
and a young Josephine
Baker, Shuffle Along ran
for an unprecedented 504
performances in New York,
then toured nationally
for three years as the
first Black musical to
play in white theaters
across the United States.
The show’s appeal
to a multi-racial
audience, and its
integration of the jazz
and Broadway communities,
not only changed the
history of the American
musical theater, but made
important strides forward
in American race
relations.Love Will Find
a Way is one of the
show’s most
popular tunes. This
intimate, pensive
arrangement by Jeremy
Siskind celebrates the
song’s centenary
by making it a love song
for our own time as much
as its own – a
reminder that no matter
how dark the path or how
gray the skies, love will
always find a way. $9.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
