Daedalus Lecture with Gwynne Brown: "'Write Another Symphony’: On the Obscurity of William L. Dawson"
William L. Dawson’s choral music has been widely performed in the U.S. since the 1940s. If you’ve sung or heard African American spirituals in a choir concert, you’ve probably encountered his arrangements. He created nearly two dozen of these short masterworks, many premiered by his students in the choir at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Dawson’s remarkable Negro Folk Symphony premiered in 1934 to tumultuous acclaim by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Leopold Stokowski. Why is Dawson…
