Composed by R. Nathaniel Dett. Arranged by Charles Decker. 20th Century,Chamber,Contest,Festival,Jazz,Multicultural,World. 22 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #994109. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.1411892).This entertaining and playful Juba Dance is from "Music in the Bottoms," a collection of five characteristic works by the prominent Canadian-American Black composer Robert Nathaniel Dett. Dett studied with notable teachers including composer Arthur Foote at Harvard, was the first African-American to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Music from Oberlin Conservatory in composition and piano in 1908 and received an honorary Masters Degree from the Eastman School of Music in 1932. Arranged for a traditional woodwind quintet of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon, with alternate parts clarinet in B-flat substitute for oboe, alto saxophone in E-flat substitute for horn, and bass clarinet in B-flat substitute for bassoon, it has great audience appeal. The recording is of the entire edition.
