Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s AFRICAN ROMANCES, Op. 17, sets the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar in one of the earliest published art song cycles by a Black composer, bridging European Romanticism with an African-American literary voice. Makeda Hampton’s reintroduction of this music revives its long-neglected beauty in this new recording, restoring it to the canon of vocal literature where it rightfully belongs. The release also coincides with the 150th birthday of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, underscoring the urgency of revisiting and re-centering his contributions to vocal literature.
