    Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

    British composer and conductor (15 August 1875, Holborn, London – 1 September 1912, Croydon, Surrey). Do not confuse with the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


    Coleridge-Taylor was of mixed-race birth and after achieving success was nick-named the "African Mahler". He is best known for the cantata trilogy The Song of Hiawatha.

    His daughter Avril Coleridge-Taylor was also composer and conductor.
