In a hugely significant step towards realising our intention to bring Coleridge-Taylor’s life and works to public attention as he deserves, the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation is delighted to announce that the distinguished American researcher and scholar Dr. Dominique-Rene de Lerma has generously entrusted us with publication on our website of his extensive bibliography and list of composed and performed works (documents, manuscripts, performances and other material) relating to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. You will find Dr. de Lerma’s entire list of publications on this website, under the menu entitled Bibliography. His list of Samuel-Taylor’s Works are also available, under the menu entitled Works.
A brief biography of Dominique-Rene de Lerma is attached below.
Whilst of course Dr. de Lerma retains copyright of his list, he has also indicated that he will welcome additions (and / or corrections) to enhance it, as our knowledge and experience of Coleridge-Taylor develops. The SCT Foundation is enormously grateful to Dominique-Rene de Lerma for his generosity and we look forward to working with him and the whole ‘SCT community’ to take this work forward.
