Coleridge-Taylor: Un Sonnet d'Amour
​for Chamber Ensemble

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) was a British composer and conductor, best known for his choral cantatas, collectively titled The Song of Hiawatha. He was descended from African-American slaves, and composed a number of works that were inspired by African music. Un Sonnet d'Amour is taken from his Petite Suite de Concert, Op. 77, composed around 1911. It is a delightful miniature, in a salon style. This is an arrangement for a chamber ensemble of eleven players, a small orchestra that suits the lightness of the piece.

Instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, triangle, violin I, violin II, viola, cello, double bass (11 players). More strings can be used as preferred.
