Composed by R. Nathaniel Dett, Robert Nathaniel Dett. Arranged by Music for a While. 20th Century. Score. 6 pages. Music for a While #6492373. Published by Music for a While (A0.914179).
Prelude - Night is the opening piece from Dett’s piano suite "In the Bottoms" (1913). About the work, Dett wrote:
Prelude - is nightfall; the heavy chords represent the heavy shadows, and the open fifths, the peculiar hollow effect of the stillness: the syncopated melody which occurs, is the "tumming" of a banjo, which music is, however, only incidental to the gloom...The Prelude should open and close with an air of mystery, and most of its serenade part be kept subdued as if sounding from afar.
