Samuel Coleridge- Taylor (1875-1912) was an English Composer. He was born to an English woman (Alice Hare Martin), and Dr. Daniel Peter Hughes Taylor, a Krio from Sierra Leone who had studied medicine in the capital. His mother named him Samuel Coleridge Taylor after the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. His father went back to Africa without knowing his mother was pregnant.
The family arranged for Taylor to study at the Royal College of Music, beginning at the age of 15. He changed from violin to composition, working under professor Charles Villiers Stanford.
In 1894, his father was appointed coroner for the British Empire in the Province of Senegambia.
Coleridge-Taylor's greatest success was undoubtedly his cantata Hiawatha's Wedding Feast, which was widely performed by choral groups in England during Coleridge-Taylor's lifetime and in the decades after his death. Its popularity was rivalled only by the choral standards Handel's Messiah and Mendelssohn's Elijah. Of mixed race birth, Coleridge-Taylor achieved such success that he was referred to by white New York musicians as the "African Mahler" when he had three tours of the United States in the early 1900s.
Coleridge-Taylor also composed chamber music, anthems, and the African Dances for violin, among other works. The Petite Suite de Concert is still regularly played. Coleridge-Taylor composed a violin concerto for the American violinist Maud Powell.
Coleridge-Taylor was 37 when he died of pneumonia. His death is often attributed to the stress of his financial situation.

What an amazing gem! I have a feeling I'll be listening to this one for a while. Thank you for the upload!
Never knew of this man before, but this quintet is very rich in texture, and every movement is a gem! Thank you so much for this.
He is a very underperformed composer today but he used to be hugely popular. It's a shame that you only tent to see his shortish "show" pieces in concerts because he wrote such wonderfully diverse music that's now relatively unknown.
you may like his violin sonata too
Sehr schöne Sendung, danke
Marvelous!
Wow, what a surprise! Lovely music!
Incredible upload! You really don't miss.
thanks for this upload!
amazing as per usual! thanks for everything fyrexianoff!
recently i came across your upload of Dušan Martinček"s Piano Sonata and I really loved it, but cannot find other of his works anywhere else :( could you please consider bring some more of his compositions, if possible?
Really good Brahmsian stuff! Not the slightest hint of jazz or African rhythms. The composer was the “grandfather of diversity” in classical music!
He was English so his influences will have been a lot more western and European than If we was African-American... If you think that Brahms was kicking around at the same time it's no doubt that you can certainly hear his influence! I personally think there is a lot of Mendelssohn in there as well!
