Dec. 3, 1978, Los Angeles), U.S. composer and conductor, and the first black to conduct a professional symphony orchestra in the United States. Though a prolific composer of operas, ballets, symphonies, and other works, he was best known for his Afro-American Symphony Still was brought up by his mother and grandmother in Little Rock, Ark., and studied medicine at Wilberforce University, Ohio, before turning to music. He first studied composition at Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Oberlin, Ohio, then under the conservative George W. Chadwick at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, and later under Edgard Varèse during the latter's most radical avant-garde period. The diversity of Still's musical education was extended when, in the 1920s, he worked as an arranger for the dance-band leader Paul Whiteman and for the blues composer W.C. Handy . In 1939 he married and settled in Los Angeles. Early orchestral works include Darker America (1924) and From the Black Belt (1926) for chamber orchestra.

    Extractions: Popularly referred to as "the Dean of African-American Composers", William Grant Still has been almost universally recognized for his contributions to American music regardless of his race. He is known to have been enamored of the voice, having written some nine operas and several remarkable songs. Jazz influences are to be found in the richness of his harmonic vocabulary. Individual songs like "Citadel," "Grief," and "Winter's Approach" bear out this finding. Little known is his song cycle From the Hearts of Women, from poetry of his wife and oft-times collaborator, Verna Arvey. Still's career as a composer extended from the late 1920s through the early 1970s. Perhaps his most influential compositions stem from his involvement in the Black Nationalist era (c. 1920 - 1940). During this period, he wrote his Afro-American Symphony, which is probably his best known work. From this same period comes the song cycle Songs of Separation. This setting of five songs by various Black poets (Bontemps, Philippe Thoby Marcelin, Dunbar, Cullen, and Hughes; all are African-American with the exception of Marcelin, who is Haitian) was published in 1949 by Leeds Music Corporation. It is now available through William Grant Still Music, Flagstaff, Arizona. It can be performed by medium high voices; a male voice may be preferable.

    Extractions: by Joni Etta Boyd (SHS) On May 11, 1895, William Grant Still was born in Woodville, Mississippi . Still, a musical legend of the 1900's, created a beat of his own in the music world. This musician, composer, and instrumentalist was blessed with more fame than any other African-American of his time. Although blacks were not prominent in the musical world in the 1900's, he overcame the discrimination and transcended many other obstacles in his own way to become an important composer of the twentieth century. Carrie Still knew her son had a musical gift after he began to make toy violins at a young age. She then decided to pay for him to take violin lessons (Sewell and Dwight 286). Still began writing music at age sixteen (Verongos). He was very intelligent in high school, graduating as valedictorian in 1911 (Sewell and Dwight 287). Still's goals were high. Thinking only of music, Still set out to achieve his goal of becoming an accomplished African-American musician. His mother supported her son's decisions. However, she knew African-Americans did not often succeed in the music industry. Her good sense and determination strongly influenced Still's life (Sewell and Dwight 286). Taking his mother's advice, William attended Wilberforce University in Ohio to major in science (Sewell and Dwight 287).

    Extractions: "A tough mixture of courage and diplomacy, the material presented here could hardly be richer."Susan McClary, author of Feminine Endings DESCRIPTION (back to top) During the 1930s and 1940s William Grant Still (1895-1978) was known as the "Dean of Afro-American Composers." He worked as an arranger for early radio, on Broadway, and in Hollywood; major symphony orchestras performed his concert works; and an opera, written in collaboration with Langston Hughes, was produced by the New York City Opera. Despite these successes the composer's name gradually faded into obscurity. This book brings William Grant Still out of the archives and examines his place in America's musical heritage. It also provides a revealing window into our recent cultural past. Until now Still's profound musical creativity and cultural awareness have been obscured by the controversies that dogged much of his personal and professional life. New topics explored by Catherine Parsons Smith and her contributors include the genesis of the
