For Orchestra of New Spain's third celebration of the Texas roots of Juneteenth, they will feature classical music, ragtime, and songs by Black composers. The compositions include "Reflection on a Memorial" by young Dallas talent Quinn Mason, along with a series of "Six Dances" by prominent neoclassicist Ulysses Kay, who taught at City U of N.Y. and was known for his many film scores, orchestral, and chamber works.
They will also feature the little-known operatic composition "Treemonisha" by ragtime star Scott Joplin, who wished to be known also for his serious works. Highlighting the rich vocal tradition of the Black community, they will feature soprano and Dallas chorus master Alfrelynn Roberts with traditional spirituals arranged by John Carter and the famous "Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel" arranged by Courtney Carey.
Roberts will also perform art songs from Nightsongs based on poems of Langston Hughes set to music by Leslie Adams.
