Folk Ingenuity

English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was one of the first and most passionate advocates of incorporating the unique voice of African and American spiritual traditions into classical music. He laid the groundwork for generations of American composers after him, from Gershwin to Florence Price and George Crumb. Similarly, Antonin Dvořák’s son-in-law, Josef Suk, carried on his passion for incorporating Czech folk music in his compositions. Experience masterpieces from these innovators in their unique explorations of national musical traditions.
