Coleridge-Taylor: O Ye that Love the Lord

If there's one thing that I want to emphasize this month, it is that Black composers write many more things than spiritual arrangements for choir. Since Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was English and a member of the Anglican church, he wrote the usual canticle settings and anthems of that church and did it very well. His setting of "By the waters of Babylon" is absolutely brilliant and dramatic. This setting of a verse out of Psalm 97 is a little bit more workaday but when you write music for church, you are frequently under deadlines, and this can be seen in the music of other major Anglican composers all the time. (There is absolutely nothing wrong with this piece, it is more than the Psalm 137 setting is so exceptional. Listen to it here:    • Coleridge-Taylor: By the Waters of Babylon...   )
