SAMUEL COLERIDGE-T TAYLOR
Brief Sketch of the Great Composer.
He is But "a Years Old, and is
Black Man-His "Hiawatha"
to be Suna Here.

At the New-Century Club on Tuesday
evening. January 20 the Wilmington
Choral Society under the direction of T.
Leslie Carpenter will sing two sections of
SamuelC lColeridge-Tay setting OF
scenes from the Song of Hlawatha"
Q.ongfeilow); and on May II the society
will sing the remaining section
4t was 40 "4Ilawaeaa moe than 10
any other works that Coleridge-Taylor is
indebted for his widespread fame. Not
that he has done nothing else, for he has
written much good music; but his "IIi-
awatha" is his masterpiece just as the
Messiah" is Handels masterpiece.
Coleridge-Taylor is a negro-to be more
accurate. an Anglo-African, born in Lon
don IN 1876 the son of a full blooded
African from Sierra Leone and an Eng
lish woman.
AT eighteen this colored youth won a
scholarship at the Royal College Of
Music and before a year had passed he
had written a composition for stringed
instruments which took q prize. Before
he was twenty-five he had written can
tata by which he achieved fame. Since
he left college he has been commissioned
to write for all the great musical festi-
walls in England but one. and the critics
admit without exception that he IS one
OF the best and most original composers
that Great Britain has ever produced.
Mr. Coleridge-Taylor shows his African
origin in the brown Of his complexion and
the crispness and curl Of his hair. lie is
small Of stature. and has the polished
manners of a cultured gentleman; con-
verses well on any subject and IS thor
oughly English. His wife is an English
woman whom he met at the Royal College
while both were students there and they
have two children a boy, and girl, with
blue eyes and haNen hair.
At present Mr.. Taylor is professor OF
harmony and composition in the Crystal
Palace. AS a judge in musical contests
he is in great and constant demand. There
are few musicians in England who train
and conduct as large a number Of choral
societies.
Like all musical prodigles this colored
man gave evidence OF unusual talent early
In life. c. Villiers Stanford was his teach
er. and the eminent composer declares he
owes all the success he may even attain
to his painstaking teacher
/ It would be difficult to find a compost
