Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a remarkable musician, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who rose from humble beginnings to become a celebrated composer. Born to a mixed-race couple in London, he faced challenges early in life due to his heritage and the unstable nature of his father, a physician who abandoned his family. Fortunately, Coleridge-Taylor was nurtured by a supportive family and a benevolent choirmaster, Colonel Herbert A. Walters, who recognized his musical talent. The author delves into the fascinating journey of Coleridge-Taylorââ â¢s artistic development, tracing his path from a young boy playing a toy violin to a student at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London. His life was infused with the musical traditions of his time, and he was greatly influenced by his teachers, particularly the renowned composer Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. The book illuminates the obstacles Coleridge-Taylor faced as a musician of African descent in a society grappling with racial prejudices. The authorââ â¢s detailed account reveals the depth of Coleridge-Taylorââ â¢s artistic talent and the impact of his music, which, infused with the richness of his heritage, transcended the boundaries of race and embraced the universal language of music.
