The story of
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
is of a rising star
composer, one with a
significant gift for
melody and a simple
lyricism, who embraced
the previously unexplored
song and dance forms from
his father’s
native west Africa and
incorporated them into
his own very European art
music. Coleridge-Taylor
began playing the violin
at age five and by age
fifteen wasadmitted to
London’s Royal
College of Music, where
he studied both violin
and composition and
composed his first works.
The simply-titled Melody
is taken from Three Short
Pieces for Organ - a set
of pieces originally
published in
Novello’s Album
for the Organ, No. 3
(1898). While certainly
typical of the late 19th
century, many of
Coleridge-Taylor's
creations display
inspiration by African
musical elements much
like spirituals inspired
Dvořák’s
“New Worldâ€
Symphony.
