CBMR: “Florence Price’s 'My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord' is in print, in an anthology”

A visitor to AfriClassical.com recently requested help locating the Florence Price (1887-1953) arrangement of the African American Spiritual My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord. Sheet music websites offer arrangements by others, but the visitor very much wanted to obtain the version by Florence Price. We are grateful that this inquiry has been answered by Suzanne Flandreau, the very helpful Head Librarian and Archivist at the Center for Black Music Research, Columbia College Chicago, http://www.colum.edu/cbmr:

Florence Price’s 'My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord' is in print, in an anthology Art songs and spirituals by African American Women compiled by Vivian Taylor and published by Hildegard Publishing Company. You can purchase a copy of the anthology through their website at http://www.hildegard.com.”
