Notes

In pencil under Price’s name, this manuscript includes, “Care T. Theo. Taylor, 3806 Calumet Ave., Chicago, Illinois.” The score also contains a first and second ending appended with the note, “Repetition, while characteristic of spirituals, may be omitted.” ↩
This facsimile is not the same score also held at the University of Pennsylvania. An illegible note appears in the upper left corner. ↩
