Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) was born in London, the illegitimate son of Alice Hare Martin, an Englishwoman, and Daniel Peter Hughes Taylor, a Creole (formerly enslaved people who had repatriated to Africa from the Americas) medical student from Sierra Leone. Taylor returned to Sierra Leone before he was aware that Alice Martin was carrying his child, whom she named after the famous Lake District poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Brought up in his grandparents’ home, young Coleridge (as they called him) learned to play the violin as a boy and soon his considerable skill led to a scholarship at the Royal College of Music, where he studied composition with Charles Villiers Stanford. His cycle of three oratorios, The Song of Hiawatha, launched him to international acclaim, and he visited the United States three times in the early 20th century.

Florence Beatrice Price (1887-1953) was born in Little Rock and studied at the New England Conservatory of Music, where she double majored in piano and organ, and graduated with honors in 1906. She spend her early career in Little Rock and Atlanta, where she was head of the music department at Clark Atlanta University before her marriage to Little Rock attorney Thomas J. Price. In 1927, following a series of lynchings in Little Rock, the Prices moved to Chicago, where she lived for the rest of her life. Florence Price was the first Black woman to have a symphony she composed premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She enjoyed some success as a composer, subsequently, but many of her manuscripts remained unpublished until they were found in 2009 in her abandoned summer home. Her music has been championed recently by the conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera.  Resignation is a choral anthem with an original text in the style of a spiritual.
