Music, 1907-1937
|
|
This series consists of published music for twenty-five compositions by
Simmons. These are primarily piano-vocal or chorus scores for his gospel
music. Two works, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken
Me (1922) and O Clap Your Hands, All Ye
People (1925), are choral anthems with organ accompaniment that
have lyrics based on Biblical texts. This series also includes a spiral
bound collection of his choral works, Soul Appealing
Anthems and Sacred Selections, which was published in 1913. The
only instrumental work in this collection is his piano solo The
Afro-American Musicians: March and Two-Step (1907), which is the earliest
dated composition in the collection. |
