Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949) played a leading role in American
music and culture in the twentieth century. Celebrated for his
arrangements of spirituals, Burleigh was also the first African
American composer to create a significant body of art song. An
international roster of opera and recital singers performed his
works and praised them as among the best of their time. Jean E.
Snyder traces Burleigh's life from his Pennsylvania childhood
through his fifty-year tenure as soloist at St. George's Episcopal
Church in Manhattan. As a composer, Burleigh's pioneering work
preserved and transformed the African American spiritual; as a
music editor, he facilitated the work of other black composers; as
a role model, vocal coach, and mentor, he profoundly influenced
American song; and in private life he was friends with AntonAn DvoA
(TM)A!k, Marian Anderson, Will Marion Cook, and other America
luminaries. Snyder provides rich historical, social, and political
contexts that explore Burleigh's professional and personal life
within an era complicated by changes in race relations, class
expectations, and musical tastes.
