Ahh, I had no idea someone had done a transcription of a Florence Price piece for #classicalguitar! 😍

Here's Emma Rush (@emmarushguitar) playing Adoration by Florence Price, arranged by Mariam Hajialigo. Gorgeous!

I was so stoked about getting this. #blackcomposers were 100% absent from my musical education until I started educating myself and I feel like I just bought a new textbook:)

Spans from the 1700s to 1970s (when the series was originally released). William Grant Still is blowing my mind right now. I can’t believe this thing was under $30. The mastering is extraordinary too. My stereo is pretty terrible and it sounds more dynamic than I previously believed it capable. Recommend TF out of.

A Short Piece for Orchestra

Composer: Julia Perry
Orchestra: The Orchestra Now
Conductor: Joseph Young

Julia Perry's one of the composers I discovered by chance last year. Was enjoying her music on a playlist and wanted more. Amazing composer. Studied under Nadia Boulanger. I love these stories of women composers learning from other women composers. A counter-narrative to how so many of us learned about classical music in the early years.

The Holy Presence of Joan D'Arc (for 10 Cellos)

Julius Eastman (Composer)

Performers: Curtis Cello Studio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hIi6FeKZhY

Came across this piece by Eastman again (the version in Unjust Malaise, not this YouTube video) on one of my older playlists earlier. Still blows my mind. Such brilliance.

Sketches in Sepia by Florence Price, performed by Samantha Ege

2022 was all about discovering how brilliant Price was as a composer, mostly thanks to the amazing work done by Dr. Samantha Ege. I can't wait to discover more.

A question for more experienced mastodonians:

Why is it that I often get no results when searching for hashtags that surely must exist?

For example #WomenComposers produces lots of good stuff, but #BlackComposers nothing at all. And #音乐 nothing. Nobody's talking about #music in #Chinese? Really?
