Rehearsal at Metropolitan AME Church August 4, 2012
The Longfellow Chorus
Dear Coleridge-Taylor Friends,
I am in Washington for the filming
of our next segment of the documentary "Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and His
Music in America." I think you will be interested in this informal
video from today's rehearsal at Metropolitan AME Church. It not only
includes Hiawatha the way you've never heard it before, it also
demonstrates the original versions of "Keep me from sinking down" and
"Nobody knows the trouble I see, Lord!" The latter, as you know, was
used by SCT as the main theme of Hiawatha Overture; we filmed the other
in the June representing the 1912 SCT/Maud Powell version:
Best wishes,
Charles Kaufmann
