First conceived as a solo art song by English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, here the arranger has left the soaring melody in tact as well as the piano accompaniment. Often called "Black Mahler", this music encourages a history lesson, a music lesson and brings into focus why Coleridge-Taylor has been hailed a cultural hero by African Americans.
