Program Notes

Danse Negre is originally the final movement of the larger African Suite, a series of short movements inspired by the writings of African-American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Scored for full orchestra, it was published in 1898. It resembles a short but festive overture in its mood; returning to the second half of its opening material following a somewhat gentler middle section.
