Review of Waka’s CD
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was one of the late romantic era’s most appealing, poetic voices, but admittedly not an especially original one. He did very well things others had already done very well, which along with his death at age 37 explains his undeserved obscurity. Coleridge-Taylor’s best music - the Violin Concerto leaps to mind - is so gorgeous, tuneful, and immaculately-crafted that his place in the mainstream repertoire deserves to be secure. Some of this “undiscovered” piano music belongs on that shortlist.
The three Cameos, Op. 56 begin the CD with an excellent summary of Coleridge-Taylor’s style: influences of Dvořák, American-style melody, and piano writing which is poetic but never especially taxing. The second Cameo is probably catchiest, a humoresque-type encore that would suit someone like Stephen Hough; you can almost hear the birth of Gershwin’s style. Of the Valse Suite, Op. 71, it’s again the second which is the standout. These waltzes are so emotionally varied, and so well-differentiated by Waka Hasegawa, that they feel like a coherent suite of different works, not just a series of waltzes.
The most substantial single movement on the disc is a scherzo-style Moorish Dance, Op. 55, which runs nearly ten minutes. It doesn’t sound especially Moorish - the excellent booklet essay says it is “limiting the Arab element to what a British audience would not find too alien” - but it’s a rhythmically complex, engaging piece, like a tamer Chopin scherzo. To me the ‘trio’ theme is very charmingly American. The suite of Forest Scenes is appealing enough but not on the same level, despite the composer’s attempt to inspire himself with titles like “Erstwhile They Ride the Forest Maiden Acknowledges Her Love.” It’s a reminder that Coleridge-Taylor wrote a lot of his music to meet the deadlines and pay the bills.
As mentioned, we’re indebted to Waka Hasegawa for her sensitive, very capable performances of this music, and the engineers give Coleridge-Taylor a chance to be heard at his best. The record label, Metropolis, is also listed as the publisher of this music, but if these are world premiere recordings, or if the music really has been newly rediscovered, the booklet does not say so. Possibly a page explaining the music’s provenance has gone missing from my copy; my booklet is a PDF, downloaded along with the album from Clas sics Online, and the pages are all out of order.
So if the late-romantic piano repertoire of Dvořák, MacDowell, Paderewski, and the encores on those Stephen Hough piano albums is your kind of thing, give this a try and enjoy it. Pair it with a glass of wine.

Samuel Coleridge Taylor – Life and Legacy of a forgotten
Musical Hero
November 9 2012, 10:30 - 11:30am @ Ashcroft Theatre, Fairfield Halls, CroydonCapture the imagination of your pupils… SC-T ranked with the classical greats of his day, Edward Elgar, and Charles Villiers Stanford, but achieved his success with a fusion of styles drawn from the traditions of folk African, European classical, and Black-American music. SC-T’s story is brought to life through the performance of ‘Song for the World’. The dancers and singers tell their simple story with verve and energy. It tells of SC-T’s early life, his existence unknown to his own father, the shift of different homes round London, how music became his outlet, and then his passion, and how it ignited the fame he achieved with the performance of his piece ‘Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast’.
Soundpractice is working with London composer Stella
Coussell, and vibrant theatre company Studio 74 are preparing for a theatrical
presentation of his life story. This uplifting and engaging musical will appeal to
children aged between 8 and 12. Connect your Black History classroom teaching
to this inspiring event. Engage with the message of Samuel’s story ‘Believe in
yourself and aim for your dreams’.

This is the NPG blurb for this event: On Slavery Remembrance Day celebrate the remarkable life of a composer who rose from humble beginnings to international celebrity. With biographer Charles Elford. I do not see how this event can relate to enslavement. SC-T was not a product of enslavement, and whilst a pan-Africanist, enslavement was not a theme of his work or life!
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor 1875–1912 Exhibition
The display documents Coleridge-Taylor’s increasing fame, with an early publicity photo complete with facsimile signature, inclusion in a group image of fellow-composers (including Elgar and Ethel Smyth) and posthumous renown on a cigarette card. An intriguing oil study painted when he was a child is complemented by a stunning portrait by E.O Hoppé.
