Florence Price's choral works. An introduction.
Friday, 22 August, 2025

Florence Price's abiding interest in the literary arts helps explain the extraordinarily large number of vocal compositions in her catalogue – well over one hundred – as well as the fact that she occasionally supplied texts of her own for these pieces. Conductor John Jeter discusses with Raymond Bisha his latest album of Price's music which comprises a dozen of these choral works, including Price's two significant cantatas – Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight and Song of Hope.
