The two releases (so far) of African American Voices albums by conductor Kellen Gray and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra have been valuable in that they have brought exposure to African American composers whose works have not been in general circulation. That is especially true of this second volume, including works by composers from after World War II, who took a variety of approaches toward the use of African American vernacular material. The Montgomery Variations of the underplayed Margaret Bonds use the spiritual I Want Jesus to Walk with Me as a commentary on the turbulent history of that city in the 1950s and '60s, with the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 white terrorist bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in which four girls were killed. The piece is a set of variations on the spiritual, deepening both the somber mood and sentiments of hope as it proceeds. Ulysses Kay's Concerto for Orchestra reflects the influence of his mentors, William Grant Still and Paul Hindemith, and certainly the inspiration of Bartók's enormously popular work in this genre. It makes little reference to African American traditions. The career of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson began during the time of Kay and Bonds but extended into the 21st century; Worship: A Concert Overture was written in 2001. It is a niftily compact treatment of the hymn Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow, subjecting it to hints of blues, spirituals, Baroque counterpoint, call-and-response structure, and much more. Perkinson will likely be unknown to many listeners, and the physical album is recommended to them; it contains a good deal of biographical material on all three composers. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra sounds terrific and takes remarkable lyric flight in the Arioso central movement of Kay's work. The group, coached with foot-stomping exercises by conductor Gray, has none of the reticence that sometimes shows up in European performances of African American music. A fresh release of considerable interest to specialists in African American music and indeed, to general listeners.
