Cast

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (15 August 1875 – 1 September 1912) was an English composer of part Creole descent who achieved such success that he was once called the "African Mahler".

Early life and education

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born in 1875 in Holborn, London, to Alice Hare Martin (1856–1953), an English woman, and Dr. Daniel Peter Hughes Taylor, a Creole from Sierra Leone, of mixed European and African descent. They were not married, Alice Hare Martin herself being an illegitimate child. Daniel Taylor returned to Africa by February 1875 and did not know that he had a son born in London. Alice Martin named her son Samuel Coleridge Taylor after the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his mother and grandfather called the boy Coleridge Taylor.

Taylor was brought up in Croydon by his mother and her father Benjamin Holmans. Martin's brother was a professional musician. Taylor studied the violin at the Royal College of Music and composition under Charles Villiers Stanford. He also taught, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducted the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire.

Ramsey (NJT station)

Ramsey is one of two New Jersey Transit rail stations in Ramsey, New Jersey served by the Main and Bergen County Lines. The station is located on Main Street and was built in 1868, thus making it the oldest operating passenger station in service in New Jersey, as the only older New Jersey passenger station, the Long-A-Coming Depot along the Atlantic City Line in Berlin, has not been in service since the 1960s. The station is often referred to as Ramsey-Main Street, to prevent confusion with the other station in the borough, Ramsey Route 17, which was completed in 2004.
