Written in 1930 for orchestra, baritone soloist, a large chorus,
and pipe organ. Song of Hope was likely never
performed during Price’s lifetime and was only recently found in
the University of Arkansas’s archives in an unopened envelope. It
will be only the sixth time the work has been performed
since its first performance was given in March of 2022 by the
Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, New York. That performance was
given as a part of the ONEcomposer
initiative’s efforts to disseminate the stories of musically
excellent, historically excluded legacies.
