Day 7: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: The African Mahler

Oct 07, 2024 • 00:02:03

King Kurus, your Black History Buff, introduces you to the musical genius of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor in our "31 Days of Black British History" series. Learn how this mixed-race composer broke racial barriers in classical music.

This episode explores:

Coleridge-Taylor's early life and musical education in Victorian England
His rise to fame with "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast"
His exploration of African musical themes in classical composition
His impact on racial perceptions in the music world on both sides of the Atlantic

While enjoying this audio journey, imagine the concert halls of late 19th century London resonating with Coleridge-Taylor's groundbreaking compositions.

See the story come alive in our video version on YouTube: @BlackHistoryBuffTV.
