Black History Month Program by Music Department
The following program is an introduction to piano literature by African-American composers. These composers have literature in various settings: chamber music, symphonies, organ and choral literature. This performance is a small sampling of literature that is available for performance. Many of the compositions by African-Americans go out of print because they are not purchased.
You are encouraged to explore music by African-American composers and purchase the music you enjoy. This performance includes: Five Sketches for Piano- Idyll, Serenade, Fantasie, Poem, Rhapsodie by Noah Francis Ryder (1914-1964); Four Negro Melodies-Bamboula (African Dance), Deep River, The stones are very hard, and Steal Away by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912); Summerland from Three Visions by William Grant Still (1895-1978); Juba (Dance) from In the Bottoms by Robert Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943). The pianist is Lloyd Douglas Brockington, an Orlando native and an adjunct music instructor and coach-accompanist at Valencia College.
