Treemonisha

Album by Scott Joplin

Treemonisha is an opera by American composer Scott Joplin, completed in 1910. It blends ragtime rhythms with classical harmony and choral writing and was created late in Joplin's career as a full-length operatic work that brings African-American musical elements into European operatic forms.
