Silver Urn is probably the very first classical composition written after Margaret Bonds's life-changing move to New York in October 1939. Less than one minute long, it is a miniature in miniature -- but a treasure of chamber music that veritably glistens with charm, grace, and melodies and harmonies that evocatively synthesize African American elements with neoclassical ones. This ClarNan edition, based on the autograph held in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), marks its first publication.
