Although written in the European tradition, this music is uplifting and the American idiom is unmistakable. I'm so glad I discovered this while listening to Radio Swiss Classic!
A very powerful work as far as I am concerned. Another one lost among other powerful works, and probably also presuppositions of what constitutes music worth listening to. This one is worth visiting again and again.
Only very little music from after 1900 do I care for, but I'm certainly enjoying Price's work. So glad I found her first symphony that you posted. I'll be hearing the others soon.

I figured out how the inversion of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot should go, and no, not quite. But it does seem like she fragmented it, and inverted some parts while leaving the others alone.
Only the third movement really stands up - quite attractive and humorous. The rest is a surprisingly square if competent academic mashup of Delius and Debussy. This is decent, but not great music: let's keep things in proportion. Pleasant to listen to once. Maybe her other works are better.
@@augustusdavis7908 I'm not trying to be clever, but there are a few: the so-called 7th, completed by Brian Newbould, the 10th, also finished by BN, and a few very promising fragments. What would you care discuss re the 8th?
@@robkeeleycomposer My inquiry here are the comment or comments mentioned here. To diminished the work of the composer. You are defining what high quality music should sound like. Price was trained as a musician and composer. Her compositions use European techniques but based on song, spirituals, and idioms of gospel and jazz, and reflects her southern roots (black people).Comparing Price to Delius or Debussy is not sufficient and invalid.
An interesting article that mentions her in some detail is "Master Pieces" in the Sept. 21, 2020 issue of the "New Yorker". It looks at the relationship of people of color as composers and symphony musicians to America's long emphasis on largely white classical and operatic music.
It's alright. I kept trying to imagine the picture she was painting and I kept coming up with a jumbled mess of images. Parts would be perfect background music for the cartoons of my youth and for various western films.
Wow, what a discovery. You know how the music of The Band has sort of a south-north feel, as compared to the east-west feel of say Kerouac. Well, this woman really, really gets the South deeply and the Midwest to a considerable extent. It's just in every note. And in a vast loving way. Ives also got it, but his music is confrontational, discordant, 3 bands playing at once. No really, he would go to county fairs as a kid, and stand in the point where 3 different bands playing in different parts of the field would have equal volume. That's America, he thought as a kid, and his music reflects that. Rimsky-Korsakov is considered one of the great orchestrators of all time, that is, using various instruments in creative and appropriate ways, for example his great masterpiece Scheherazade. A modern example of the importance of orchestration would be George Martin saying guys, nice song, In My life, maybe you could have a harpsichord solo in there, and the Beatles go what's a harpsichord, ooooooo cool, the result being a great distinctive hit. Anyway, it would be sooooo cool to see this woman and Rimsky-Korsakov have a 3-beer, maybe 3-glass of wine, conversation about orchestration. How instructive that would be! Entirely different approaches, both valuable, I think.

I wish more people were aware of great composers like Florence Price, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds.
Heartily agreed. Others deserving greater notice include Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, George Walker, William Dawson and Undine Smith Moore.
Discovering treasures like this is what makes life worth living.
I am so grateful to have read an article about Price in NYT. I will continue to listen to her music as it fills my heart!

Thanks for your uploads of Price and many other less known composers. Much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of music with the world!

What a great piece! The tinges of jazz and polytonality probably make this her most forward looking symphony.
Lovely piece. She's well worth hearing!

At 11:12-11:25, the flute solo to me sounds like she quotes "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" but inverted.
I figured out how the inversion of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot should go, and no, not quite. But it does seem like she fragmented it, and inverted some parts while leaving the others alone.
Listen to 'This weeks Composer' on Radio 3 from 2-6 March 2020 for more of her great music.
Right on
Juba is for a good and happy day!

However; let’s a have a conversation about Schubert’s unfinished Symphony
@@augustusdavis7908 Happy to - which one? :-)
@@robkeeleycomposer which one ?? The unfinished one

Anyone here because you heard about her on Encyclopedia Womannica?

That one brought me here.
So unfortunate. This is a lovely and well orchestrated piece, well worth including in any survey of American music.
It's alright. I kept trying to imagine the picture she was painting and I kept coming up with a jumbled mess of images. Parts would be perfect background music for the cartoons of my youth and for various western films.

"This woman"....? maybe Mr. Ives and Mr. Rimsky Korsakov are "this man"?....
very good

The third movement is very interesting ...I also like the first....the second, for me, is boring...
No depth here.
