This is my very first time to hear of this inspired composer, and to hear what seems to be her most famous work. One word....UNDERRATED!!!! This is deep, emotional, incredible music. Why has it fallen into obscurity?? (and don't say it's because she is a woman, and of an oppressed minority group at that - although this combination most probably had something to do with it, i must admit!!). I WILL admit that it's not easily and readily accessible to the "unwashed masses" who might prefer say, Taylor Swift, lol!! That said, it's wonderful to see her music make a comeback.
What a beautiful, vibrant composition! A shame that racial and gender bias have kept poetic voices like Perry's and Florence Price's under the radar. Hopefully more orchestras will integrated their oeuvre into the canon.
