1REPRESENTATIVE TEACHERS and SOLOISTS
3Cecil Burleigh, an American violinist and teacher at a Sioux City Institution, has probably enriched the violin's literature as far as characteristic American music is concerned, to a greater extent than any of our presentday writers for that instrument. Still a young man, he has produced works of striking originality, dramatic effectiveness and in an incredibly short space of time, has developed into a veritable master of short, concise forms of descriptive compositions which he succeeds in imbuing with the most remarkable and undeniable touches of distinctive originality.
5Mr. Burleigh's latest contributions in this vein include a set of six Nature Studies Op. 23 (Fragrance, Clouds, Maying, Fairyland, Hour of Nine and Heave Ho), a second set of Six Pictures Op. 30 (Distance, Rocks, Ripples, Hills, A Mirage and Murmurings) and a highly ingenious set of so-called Plantation Sketches Op. 36 the individual titles of which give an immediate idea of the underlying motive which inspired their writer. Here they are:–In Cotton Fields, Picka-ninnies, A Log Cabin, Uncle Rastus, Mammy's Lullaby and Minstrel.
