I have this on a CD (Telarc CD-80409) called "American Voices" - The
African-American Composers' Project. The CD is with the Akron Symphony,
conducted by Alan Balter. In addition to the David Baker, there are two
other works - "The Distant Land" by Billy Childs, and Symphony No. 6
"Four Songs for Five American Voices" by William Banfield. It's a great
CD IMO, and IIRC it is out of print now. I bought it as a remainder,
maybe from Daedelus Books (dangerous place!) or Berkshire Record Outlet.
