Harry Burleigh
Henry Thacker "Harry" Burleigh (December 2, 1866 – September 12, 1949), a baritone, was an African-American classical composer, arranger, and professional singer. He was the first black composer to be instrumental in the development of a characteristically American music and he helped to make black music available to classically trained artists both by introducing them to the music and by arranging the music in a more classical form.〔
==Early and family life==
Henry Thacker Burleigh was born in Erie, Pennsylvania to Henry and Elizabeth Burleigh. His mother worked as a maid, and his formerly enslaved grandfather taught young Harry traditional spirituals and slave songs. When he was old enough, Harry helped support his family by lighting streetlamps, selling newspapers and later as a copyist. His mother's employer also hired young Burleigh as a doorman at concert events held at her home, which included talent such as Teresa Carreño and Italo Campanini.〔http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.ihas.200035730/default.html〕〔(Profile ), pabook.libraries.psu.edu; accessed July 10, 2015.〕 Although Burleigh lacked traditional music education, he also was employed as a soloist in several churches and synagogues in Erie. In 1898, after his formal education discussed below, Burleigh married poet Louise Alston. They had one son, Alston (born 1899), who survived his parents.
