PROGRAM
J. S. Bach, “English” Suite in A Minor, BWV 807 (ante 1720)
Franz Liszt, Sonata in B Minor (1853)
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Three movements from Negro Melodies, Op. 59 (1904)
Tania León, Ritual (1987)
Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson Sonata for Piano, No. 3 (2003)
American pianist Terrence Wilson makes his overdue Gardner debut with a performance of Liszt’s phantasmagoric Sonata in B Minor. Wilson will also perform three movements from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s gorgeous arrangements of African American spirituals and African folksongs. In a preface to the published score, Booker T. Washington wrote: “The music of these songs goes to the heart because it comes from the heart.”
American composer Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson begins his remarkable third and final piano sonata with the spiritual “Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel,” set very much in the style of his namesake, before taking the tune on his own distinctive path—edgy, bright, and driving.
