Spiritual Burleigh, June 2, 2008
Anyone who knows this forerunner of Negro spiritual arrangers after Emancipation, where the music became an art form and printed in the European musical style in the late nineteenth century, Burleigh has in his treasured compositions some art songs, unheard of and I'd come across Lovely and and lonely one, the poetry of Langston Hughes set to music and was at awe. My recital in partial fulfillment of the Master of Arts degree in Music focuses on Heine and Schumann's setting of Dichterliebe and several African American Arts songs by Price, Bonds, and even present-day Caucasian Ricky Ian Gordan, who writes for Audra McDonald. This is a treasure.
