Symphony No. 1 in E Minor - I. Allegro ma non troppo

Program Note: "Florence Price composed her First Symphony from 1931 to 1932. The first movement, Allegro ma non troppo, is in sonata form. It opens with a syncopated bassoon solo, recalling Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony. Instruments swell and billow. A long contrasting middle section captures tranquility, as if Price is musically painting the great American pastime: sitting on the porch. Peace is disturbed with a return of the first theme and brass and percussive blasts end the movement." - Philadelphia Orchestra
