Product Description
The William Wallace Gilchrist Piano Trio in G Minor is a monumental, and historically significant work.
In 1990, while chairman of the music department of Paine College, I spent a week doing research on a project in the Philadelphia Free Library.
In the course of that project, I stumbled upon an unpublished major chamber piece by one of Americas first homegrown "Romantic" composers, William Wallace Gilchrist (1846-1916). The find was a vellum (ink on onion skin) working score and parts - working score in that there were changes made on the pages (assumed to be in the composers own handwriting) of Gilchrists first piano trio.
I had other projects at hand, so it was 2005 before I finished editing and annotating the score and parts, presented here. I encourage the reader to refer to the editorial notes in preparing this piece for performance.
