"Black composer William L. Dawson earned wide recognition for his arrangements of Black American spirituals and his Negro Folk Symphony. Gwynne Kuhner Brown provides a sensitive and multifaceted look at the career of an important twentieth-century artist. Born in 1899, Dawson studied music at the Tuskegee Institute before embarking on a wide-ranging career. Brown's account follows the composer from his Kansas City years of studying music and performing on trombone to his time in Chicago. There, he played with the likes of Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines while sitting as first trombone for the Chicago Civic Orchestra and continuing his college and conservatory studies. Dawson's position as music director at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church sparked an interest in Black folksong that led him to publish arrangements of Black spirituals. During his subsequent twenty-five years teaching at Tuskegee, Dawson directed the school choir in performances of his own work with spirituals and led the group to international acclaim. Engaging and long overdue, William L. Dawson offers the first full-length look at a pioneering Black composer"--

William Levi Dawson (1899–1990) overcame adversity and Jim Crow racism to become a nationally recognized composer, choral arranger, conductor, and professor of music. In William Levi Dawson: American Music Educator, Mark Hugh Malone tells the fascinating tale of Dawson’s early life, quest for education, rise to success at the Tuskegee Institute, achievement of national notoriety as a composer, and retirement years spent conducting choirs throughout the US and world. From his days as a student at Tuskegee in the final years of Booker T. Washington’s presidency, Dawson continually pursued education in music, despite racial barriers to college admission. Returning to Tuskegee later in life, he became director of the School of Music. Under his direction, the Tuskegee Choir achieved national recognition by singing at Radio City Music Hall, presenting concerts for Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and performing on nationwide radio and television broadcasts. Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony, only the second extended musical work to be written by an African American, was premiered by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra in both Philadelphia and New York City. Dawson’s arrangements of spirituals, the original folk music of African Americans enslaved in America during the antebellum period, quickly became highly sought-after choral works. This biographical account of Dawson's life is narrated with a generous sprinkling of his personal memories and photographs.
