Summary:

"This publication presents the first critical edition dedicated to Francis Johnson (1792-1844), a seminal Black composer and bandleader in the early nineteenth-century United States. Encompassing nearly three hundred extant compositions and arrangements, this volume addresses a significant gap in musicological scholarship by presenting the surviving works of Johnson's prolific and varied output in their entirety. The stellar reputation of Johnson and his band led to tours in Canada, England, and much of the United States, as well as performances at prominent national events--such as presidential inaugurations, the centenary of George Washington's birth, and the Marquis de Lafayette's vaunted 1824 return to the United States. By assembling his complete surviving works, this edition offers an indispensable resource for performers, scholars, and students, facilitating renewed engagement with Johnson's contributions to the musical and cultural history of both Black Americans and the United States as a whole." -- Provided by publisher.
