Adoration—Florence Price/arr. Thomas Taylor
Dickey. Written in 1951, just two years
before the composer's death, this slow,
meditative piece originally for solo organ
reminds the listener of a prelude or offertory
piece at church. With a performance time of
approximately five minutes, a slow tempo
marking, and its ability to be performed almost
entirely in first position by all sections, this
beautiful work should be in the library of every
school orchestra program.
