Biography
The "dean of American Black composers," who developed a Black symphonic style (Afro-American Symphony, 1930). Still occasionally used original Black themes but for the most part created his own melodic materials. Text-related pieces reveal his heritage; his wife Verna Arvey, a writer, was his frequent collaborator. ~ Mary K. Scanlan, Rovi
