I am delighted to see my thesis research on Samuel Coleridge-Taylor being published. My research focuses on the Six Sorrow Songs, Op. 57 song cycle, and the cross-genre borrowings from art songs and Sorrow Songs/slave songs that allow for new layers of meaning to take shape in these songs. This interdisciplinary research includes an in-depth multi-faceted textual and musical analysis to shed light on the ways in which a sense of double meaning emerges in this composition.
In this virtual exhibit, Alyssa English and I aimed to share our public musicology research with the public in a captivating and engaging way. We explored the ways in which the National Arts Centre (NAC) moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic through creative virtual initiatives.
