'Three Silhouettes for Piano, Op. 38' of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Uploaded to International Music Score Project

[Samuel Coleridge-Taylor at 23]

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) was an Afro-British composer and conductor featured at AfriClassical.com. The Centennial of his death will be in 2012. Major observances are being planned by organizations including the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation, http://www.sctf.org.uk/.

The International Music Score Project (IMSLP), Petrucci Library, describes its mission as “Sharing the World's Public Domain Music.” On Sept. 23, 2011, AfriClassical posted: “Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's 'Life and Death' and 'A King There Lived in Thule' Uploaded to IMSLP.” We have since learned of another recent upload by Adam Ramet on November 16, 2011:
