Earlier
today, AfriClassical posted: "Dr. Dane Teter Conducts El Camino
College Symphony Orchestra in 'LittleRed Schoolhouse' of William Grant Still on YouTube.” Dr. Dane
Teter has graciously responded with additional information on the
composition and the performance:
“Thank
you. The work was originally composed for orchestra and later
transcribed for concert band. You will note that The Eqyptian
Princess in the band version is much faster than the orchestra.
There was an error in the tempo indication on the band arrangement.”
