Originally composed for organ, Adoration is one of Florence Price’s most intimate and expressive works. With its gentle lyricism, flowing lines, and tender harmonies, the piece offers a moment of reflection and calm. Florence Price (1887-1953) was a trailblazer in American music history, becoming the first African American woman to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra. Her music blends the traditions of European classical music with the rich heritage of African American spirituals and folk melodies. Adoration reflects this fusion in its warm harmonic palette and vocal-style phrasing. This intermediate flute choir arrangement is scored for 5 C flutes with optional alto flute and bass flute.
