Harry T. Burleigh
Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949) played a leading role in American music and culture in the twentieth century. Celebrated for his arrangements of spirituals, Burleigh was also the first African American composer to create a significant body of art song. An international roster of opera and recital singers performed his works and praised them as among the best of their time. Jean E. Snyder traces Burleigh's life from his Pennsylvania childhood through his fifty-year tenure as soloist at St. George's Episcopal Church in Manhattan. As a composer, Burleigh's pioneering work preserved and transformed the African American spiritual; as a music editor, he facilitated the work of other black composers; as a role model, vocal coach, and mentor, he profoundly influenced American song; and in private life he was friends with Antonín Dvořák, Marian Anderson, Will Marion Cook, and other America luminaries. Snyder provides rich historical, social, and political contexts that explore Burleigh's professional and personal life within an era complicated by changes in race relations, class expectations, and musical tastes.

Harry T. Burleigh's Art Songs
Harry Thacker Burleigh (1866–1949) was born during a time of hardships for African Americans, which limited his accessibility to education. He matriculated at the New York Conservatory at the age of twenty-six, yet he did not limit himself to one career. He became a great singer, teacher/vocal coach, composer/arranger, lecturer, music editor and accompanist. He made a tremendous contribution to the music of western culture through his arrangements of Spirituals and his compositions of art songs. He used text by seventy-three poets, anonymous writers and the Bible for writing his art songs that were not arrangement of Spirituals. Burleigh developed his writing skills over three style periods. These periods consist of the following dates: early, 1898-1903; middle, 1904-1910; and mature, 1914-1940. His early art songs are simple ballads in strophic form; in his mature period they are more often through composed compositions. His art songs number more than one hundred and thirty. Many of his art songs have not been heard due to the lack of exposure and the lack of reprints of his scores. These are the reasons that the majority of his art songs have become a forgotten repertory.
