The Heart of a Woman offers the first-ever biography of Florence B.
Price, a composer whose career spanned both the Harlem and Chicago
Renaissances, and the first African American woman to gain national
recognition for her works.Price's twenty-five years in Chicago
formed the core of a working life that saw her create three hundred
works in diverse genres, including symphonies and orchestral
suites, art songs, vocal and choral music, and arrangements of
spirituals. Through interviews and a wealth of material from public
and private archives, Rae Linda Brown illuminates Price's major
works while exploring the considerable depth of her achievement.
Brown also traces the life of the extremely private individual from
her childhood in Little Rock through her time at the New England
Conservatory, her extensive teaching, and her struggles with
racism, poverty, and professional jealousies. In addition, Brown
provides musicians and scholars with dozens of musical examples.
