Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: 24 Negro Melodies Op.59
The transcription of melodies contained in this volume is the most complete expression of Mr. 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.
Featuring Frances Walker, piano
