but including at least one of each wind and brass instrument, including
(here is where it gets HR) a horn. I have absolutely no further information
on this ensemble. There is plenty to be found in libraries, archives and on
the Internet on Clarence Cameron White as a composer, violinist and
teacher, but none of the material I've seen so far mentions this ensemble.
I could spend a lot of time perusing the collected papers of White that are
available to researchers, but I thought that someone more knowledgeable on
the Boston musical scene c. 1912 or who has looked into African American
musicians or horn players (John Mason, are you still on this list?) could
help me cut to the chase. I'd particularly like to find information about
the orchestra (professional, educational, other?) and the identity of the
horn player.
Is there enough detail in the photograph to determine what kind of horn he is
playing. Doubles were pretty new back then. Did he have one?
