Henry Thacker Burleigh

Plantation Melodies, Old and New

Apollo Chamber Players

   

This terrific disc features works by Libby Larson, Florence Price, Erberk Eryilmaz, Hajime Komatsu, Marty Regan, and this subject of this month's clip, Henry Thacker ("Harry") Burleigh. The ACP's arrangements of two of Burleigh's Plantation Melodies are full of verve, evident in their virtuosic performance here. This clip is from the second of the two songs, with "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" as the clear blueprint.
