Harry T. Burleigh was a singer and composer, who helped bring black American music into the classical mainstream, including his assistance to Antonin Dvorak at the time Dvorak wrote his Symphony "From the New World." Burleigh's song "Wade in de Water" was published in 1917 by Giulio Ricordi. That puts it in the end of the Romantic period, when new styles of music were coming from the likes of Debussy, Stravinsky and Schoenberg.
