Coleridge-Taylor: Ballade in A minor
Bartók: Violin Concerto No. 2
Elgar: Enigma Variations
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s classical compositions were influenced by traditional African music, reflecting his “Anglo-African” heritage. Bartok’s Second Violin Concerto is infused with the spirit of his native Hungarian folk music. Elgar wrote odes to the people in his life by inscribing movements in his compositions with initials that hint of their identities.
