We welcome this news of our friends at www.SCTF.org.uk, and we look forward to linking the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor page at AfriClassical.com to the new Bibliography:

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation
Hilary Burrage January 26, 2012
"In a hugely significant step towards realising our intention to bring Coleridge-Taylor’s life and works to public attention as he deserves, the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation is delighted to announce that the distinguished American researcher and scholar Dr. Dominique-Rene de Lerma has generously entrusted us with publication on our website of his extensive bibliography and general reference point for documents and other material relating to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.


"You will find Dr. de Lerma’s entire list on this website, under the menu entitled Bibliography. A brief biography of Dominique-Rene de Lerma is attached below.  Whilst of course Dr. de Lerma retains copyright of his list, he has also indicated that he will welcome additions (and / or corrections) to enhance it, as our knowledge and experience of Coleridge-Taylor develops.

"The SCT Foundation is enormously grateful to Dominique-Rene de Lerma for his generosity and we look forward to working with him and the whole ‘SCT community’ to take this work forward."
