[Choir] Florence Price Adoration

[Stephen Finner]

The Vermont Philharmonic played this today and it is a short just over 3
minutes simple very pretty piece. Composed as a religious piece, it ends
with a simple familiar two note "amen"   (B-A).  The program note says she
came from a racially mixed family and note this wording she used when
writing of her gender and race as barriers to her success ""I have two
handicaps, those of sex and race.  I am a woman; and I have some Negro
blood in my veins. I should like to be judged on merit alone."
There is also a cello and piano versions.  Both versions are worth
listenting to.
