Florence B. Price (1887-1953) is profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features a comprehensive Works List and a Bibliography by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma, www.CasaMusicaledeLerma.com.  Yesterday a visitor to AfriClassical.com asked where the Symphony No. 1 in E Minor of Florence B. Price can be purchased.

We forwarded the inquiry to the Reference Librarians at the Center for Black Music Research at Columbia College Chicago, cbmrref@colum.edu.  The CBMR promptly replied that the work may be purchased from the publisher,  A-R Editions for the Music of the United States of America (MUSA) series: https://www.areditions.com/rr/rra/a066.html

The publisher notes that the publication consists of Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3, both Edited by Rae Linda Brown

Bill, Thanks for the entry and for giving us credit.  The attachment is a scan of thecover of the score that you may use if you want to.  People are very visual. 
Though you say it is purchasing information for the score, your readers may still 
think it is purchasing info for the CD.  Janet  [Janet Harper, Reference
