Public

Othello, Op.79

Symphony No. 3 in C minor

Callaloo, Caribbean Suite

Approved

Get swept up in Trinidad’s Calypso melodies and rhythms, captured by Stewart Goodyear’s Callaloo, with the composer himself at the piano.

Callaloo is a five-movement musical fantasy, mixing Jamaican mento; Afro-Cuban guaguancó, son, conga and guaracha; and the inter-island soca.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Othello Suite, first published in 1909 and performed in 1911, is a high-drama, five-movement work.

The work, conceived as incidental music to accompany Shakespeare’s play, is operatic and grand in style, with both funeral and military marches, along with lyrical, intimate moments.

Florence Price expresses aspects of her African American heritage within a symphonic framework in her Third Symphony, completed in 1940.

Avoiding direct references to existing folk songs and dances, it creates highly distinctive African spiritual moods and uses the syncopated rhythms of the juba in its jazzy third movement.
