Symphonies 2 & 3 / Wood Notes

The life and career of the African-
American composer William Grant
Still qualifies as the quintessential
American 'success story.' Often
referred to as the 'dean of African-
American composers,' Still rose from
humble beginnings to work as an
arranger while studying composition
with Chadwick and VarÃ¨se. Still
embraced the blues, spirituals, jazz,
and other ethnic American musics
within classical forms. Wood Notes
musically depicts Still's love of
nature. Symphony No. 2, the last
of a trilogy of works depicting
the African-American experience,
presents the vision of an integrated
American society, while Symphony
No. 3 describes a spiritual 'day in the
life' of a devout worshipper. This disc
completes the Naxos cycle of William
Grant Still's Symphonies.
