Found in the University of Arkansas's library only through its individual parts in Price’s handwritten manuscript, Five Folksongs in Counterpoint is believed to have been written around 1927. The collection of re-imagined folk songs, based on African-American Spirituals, emphasizes Price's counterpuntal compositional prowess.
On November 17, 2019, Caramoor presented a live-streamed performance featuring the Thalea String Quartet performing this work alongside Price's Piano Concerto in One Movement. We are pleased to make this selection available for your viewing again.
