Cook’s Colored Composers Break New Ground in Uplift Music
Nell Brinkley lauds Will Marion Cook as a pathbreaker whose works, praised by Schindler, bring authentic southern negro idiom to concert music. The piece compares Cook to Moussorgsky, notes training under Joachim, and foresees lasting impact from works like Rain Song and Exhortation, with England’s Coleridge-Taylor as a peer.
