SONGS BY FLORENCE BEATRICE PRICE (1887–1953): TRANSCRIPTIONS FOR THE TROMBONE (2024). The trombone possesses a rich history, much of which is rooted in vocal music tradition. From the doubling of choirs in early music through the adaptation of Giulio Marco Bordogni’s (1789–1856) vocalises, the relationship between trombone performance and vocal technique is notable. Although the trombone solo repertoire extends back into the sixteenth century, works by historically marginalized composers are relatively absent. Art songs and spirituals by Florence Beatrice Price (1887–1953) were selected for transcription to augment trombone professional performers. Six of Price’s unpublished songs were selected based on the following criteria: (1) the range of the song is within the practical range of the trombone, (2) the song is idiomatic to the trombone, and (3) the song performed by the trombone accurately reflects the diction and intention of the text. Following a brief introduction and biographical sketch of Price, the relevance of the works is explored and the process of the selection is presented. Preceded by brief critical notes, each of the solo transcriptions for trombone are included; a piano accompaniment is not a component in the document.
