Finding scholarly research on the choral music by
significant American composers is limited. Moreover,
finding scholarly resources by significant
African-American composers is more limited. Spiritual
arrangements by well-known African-American composers
had a tremendous impact upon the cultural development
of African-Americans in North America. Equally, but
not always noted, are the contributions by
African-American composers of the western European
tradition. The purpose of this book is three-fold: 1)
to provide a scholarly resource devoted to the
musical contributions of Pulitzer Prize winner George
Walker; 2) to present his choral works in the form of
a descriptive analysis; and 3) to provide a summary
of his career as a performer, conductor, teacher, and
composer. Chapter One introduces the composer and
briefly discusses the need for continued research in
this area. Chapter Two provides a Black perspective
on twentieth century classical music. Chapter Three
explores Walker s life. Chapters Four and Five are
devoted to the musical analysis of his choral works.
Chapter Six summarizes and reflects upon the life,
choral works, and accomplishments of George Walker.
