Adolphus Hailstork: Farewell Dominique. You were so dedicated to the cause of African-American composers. Requiescat in pace.

Dominique-René S. de Lerma

Adolphus Hailstork writes:

Dear Bill, 

I sent this to Antonio:

Farewell Dominique.  You were so dedicated to the cause of African-American composers. 

 

You were a gift at just the right time  with just the right determination and energy to reveal truths too often hidden in music history.

Requiescat  in pace.
