Samuel Coleridge-Taylor - Suite from the incidental music to 'St. Agnes' Eve'

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912), arguably England's most famous Black composer, was known for his epic orchestral works. He studied composition with Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal Northern College of Music from a young age, and went on to have a massively successful career as a composer and conductor. This piano arrangement of his own orchestral music showcases his knack for grandeur, featuring sweeping octave melodies and orchestrally dense chord voicings throughout. 00:00 - Introduction 00:12 - 1. "That ancient Beadsman heard the Prelude soft." 04:16 - 2. "Her maiden eyes divine." 07:08 - 3. Porphyro, "Now tell me where is Madeline."
