“This work is properly called Five Negro Melodies for Piano Trio” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

[Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Chamber Music: Fantasiestucke for String Quartet, Op. 5 (20:55); Five Negro Melodies for Piano Trio (18:10); Nonet in F Minor (26:40); Coleridge Ensemble; AFKA SK 543 (1998)] 

Earlier today, AfriClassical posted: “Chamber Music Charleston Performs Piano Trio of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Nov. 2”. JW has kindly posted an informative comment: “This work is properly called Five Negro Melodies for Piano Trio, and is C-T's arrangement for piano, violin and cello of five movements from his historic collection 24 Negro Melodies for Piano.” The only CD version of which we are aware is the one recorded by the Coleridge Ensemble, AFKA 543 (1998). We have enjoyed it many times since its release a decade ago. Websites from which it is available include http://www.ArkivMusic.com. [Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) is profiled at AfriClassical.com]
