Melody

Violinist and composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was known for embracing the previously unexplored song and dance forms from his father’s native west Africa and incorporating them into his own very European art music. The simply-titled Melody is taken from "Three Short Pieces for Organ," a set of lyrical pieces with tuneful, song-like qualities.
