The London Song Festival: Concert Five - A Celebration Of The Anniversaries Of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (d. 1912) And John Ireland (d. 1962)
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was an Anglo-African composer who fought racism, found fame as the composer of Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast and has since sunk into unjustified neglect. This concert includes complete performances of two of his song-cycles, ‘Sorrow Songs’ to poems by Christina Rossetti and ‘Songs of Sun and Shade’, settings of the notorious lesbian poet Marguerite Radclyffe Hall.
John Ireland is one of England's most characteristic song composers and this evening's programme also includes songs by Arnold Bax, a remarkable English composer and poet who devoloped a great affinity with the culture and people of Ireland at the time of the Easter Rebelion of 1916.
