Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (15 August 18751 September 1912) was an English composer of Creole descent who achieved such success that he was once called the "African Mahler".〔Earl Stewart and Jane Duran, ("Coleridge-Taylor: Concatenationism and Essentialism in an Anglo-African Composer" ), American Philosophical Association, ''Newsletter on Philosophy and the Black Experience'', Vol. 99, No. 1, 1999, accessed 24 February 2011.〕 ==Early life and education== Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born in 1875 in Holborn, London, to Alice Hare Martin (1856–1953),〔Mike Phillips, ("Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912)" ). Black Europeans: A British Library Online Gallery feature.〕 an English woman, and Dr Daniel Peter Hughes Taylor, a Creole from Sierra Leone, of mixed European and African descent. They were not married, Alice Hare Martin herself being an illegitimate child.〔(Lost Lives: Coleridge Taylor )〕 Daniel Taylor returned to Africa by February 1875 and did not know that he had a son born in London. Alice Martin named her son Samuel Coleridge Taylor〔(Hilary Burrage: A Tribute to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor )〕 after the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge〔 and his mother and grandfather called the boy Coleridge Taylor.〔("Samuel Coleridge-Taylor ), at Jeffrey Green website.〕 Taylor was brought up in Croydon by his mother and her father Benjamin Holmans. Martin's brother was a professional musician. Taylor studied the violin at the Royal College of Music and composition under Charles Villiers Stanford. He also taught, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducted the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire. The young man later used the name "Samuel Coleridge-Taylor", with a hyphen, said to be following a printer's typographical error.〔(Thompsonian.info )〕 His father Daniel Taylor was later appointed as coroner for the British Empire in the Gambia in the late 1890s. thumb 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Coleridge-Taylor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
