Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (15 August 18751 September 1912) was a British composer and conductor. Of
mixed-race descent, Coleridge-Taylor achieved such success that he was referred to by white musicians in
New York City as the "African
Mahler" when he had three tours of the United States in the early 1900s. He was particularly known for his
three cantatas on the epic 1855 poem ''
The Song of Hiawatha'' by American
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Coleridge-Taylor premiered the first section in 1898, when he was 23. He married an Englishwoman, Jessie Walmisley, and both their children had musical careers. Their son, Hiawatha, adapted his father's music for a variety of performances. Their daughter,
Avril Coleridge-Taylor, became a composer-conductor.
