This brilliant brass choir arrangement captures the excitement of the composer’s orchestral showpiece "Danse Nègre" from his "African Suite, Op. 35". Born of an African father, Coleridge-Taylor was an early 20th century English composer, conductor and advocate for Black composers. The five-minute arrangement is scored for four B-flat trumpets (1st trumpet doubles on piccolo B-flat; trumpets 3 and 4 double on flugelhorn), 4 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium and tuba with brass orchestration that mirrors the texture and excitement of Coleridge-Taylor's orchestral work to inspire performers and excite audiences. Consider this impressive arrangement to feature your band or orchestra brass section on your next concert. The recording is of the entire arrangement.
“The Music of Black Composers Series is a welcome and timely addition to the brass repertoire. Highly recommended!” Wesley Nance, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Eastman School of Music
“I was so pleased to see the great works arranged for brass ensemble by Charles Decker Music Press especially the Music of Black Composers’ Series. It was rewarding to perform several of these with Summit Brass and students attending the Rafael Mendez Brass institute. You provide the brass world with some real gems.” Joseph Parisi, Director Summit Brass, Fountain City Brass Band, University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory Wind Ensemble

The Music of Black Composers Series is a welcome and timely addition to the brass repertoire. Interesting music, expertly arranged, fun to perform, and well received by audiences. These pieces are now permanently in my quintet book along with the usual Joplin and Waller, and I will be using them with my student groups as well. Highly recommended!
