Additional info/contents	The more music you hear from Florence Price (1887-1953), the more familiar you become with her style and language. Rediscovering her music is a fascinating experience! The courageous Price was the first African-American composer in the 20th century to achieve success. She was an accomplished musician - a virtuoso pianist and organist, a prolific composer and a respected teacher. Her stylistically extensive oeuvre includes almost four hundred works. Her 1st Symphony was the first work by an African-American woman to ever be performed in a concert hall. The two overtures show her deep connections to spirituals. The first half of the Concert Overture No. 2 (1943) presented here presents three miniature scenes in rapid succession. Based on the spirituals “Go Down, Moses”, as well as “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen” and “Ev’ry Time I Feel the Spirit”, the musical character of the work is very different: gloom meets enthusiasm. In the second part, the themes are processed into one another until “Go Down, Moses” takes over at the end. Dietmar Rainer has masterfully implemented this transcription for symphonic wind orchestra and as close to the original as possible.
