'The discography for Adolphus Hailstork at AfriClassical.com does not include a recording we actually NAMED for his music'


[Adolphus C. Hailstork; Out of the Depths: Music by African-American Composers; Spiritual for brass octet (9:36); Out of the Depths for Concert Band (13:16); Keystone Wind Ensemble; Jack Stamp, Conductor; Citadel 88143 (2002).]

This is the second informative note we have received from Myron D. Moss, Ph.D., Music Program Director at Drexel University:

“The discography for Adolphus Hailstork at AfriClassical.com does not include a recording we actually NAMED for his music: Out of the Depths, performed by the Keystone Winds, Citadel CD # CTD 88143. The recording includes Hailstork's Out of the Depths for Concert Band, and Spiritual, for brass octet.”

We are very pleased to learn of this recording, which features works by three composers who are featured at AfriClassical.com: Adolphus C. Hailstork, Ulysses S. Kay and Hale Smith. The Adolphus Hailstork page has just been modified. The site's pages on Ulysses Kay and Hale Smith will also be modified as a result of information related to Out of the Depths: Music by African-American Composers. This CD is available from only a small number of retailers. The best price we found was $8.99 at FoothillRecords.com:
