Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
24 Negro Melodies, Op. 59
Frances Walker, piano
Coleridge-Taylor said of this music: "What Brahms has done for the Hungarian folk music, Dvorak for the Bohemian, and Grieg for the Norwegian, I have tried to do for these Negro Melodies."
The transcription of melodies contained in this volume is the most complete expression of Coleridge-Taylor's native bent and power. Using some of the native songs of Africa and the West Indies with songs that came into being in America during slavery, he has preserved their distinctive traits and individuality, at the same time giving them an art form fully imbued with their essential spirit.
