Program Notes
London-born Samuel Coleridge-Taylor found both inspiration and an enthusiastic reception during his visits to the United States in the early 20th century. His vibrant Rhapsodic Dance No. 1, commissioned by the Norfolk Music Festival in Connecticut, is nicknamed for a drum and a dance that was brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans.
