The first African American to conduct in a Major American symphony orchestra, the first to have a symphony (his first symphony) performed by a leading orchestra, the first to have an opera performed by a Major opera company, and the first to have an opera performed on national television, William Grant Still broke barriers. Still composed his Serenade for Orchestra in 1957 on a commission by the Great Falls High School in Great Falls, Montana. The piece reflects Still's interest in American folk idioms, with conventional melodies and harmonies that nonetheless express a fresh and individual compositional voice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":40588208537679,"sku":"SC88","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score - Digital Download","offer_id":45248109346895,"sku":"SC88D-PDF","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/d45d5054dfe477d8312b13f437604b21.jpg?v=1751726950"},{"product_id":"still-piano-collection-edited-by-portia-shuler-hawkins-still","title":"Still: A Piano Collection","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/william-grant-still\"\u003eWilliam Grant Still (1895-1978)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEditor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Portia Shuler Hawkins\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano, Orchestra, Opera\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral Bound\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.7\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Blues from \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/still-lenox-avenue-1937\"\u003eLenox Avenue (1937)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance from \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/still-costaso-1949\"\u003eCostaso (1949)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance of the Porteuses from La Guiablesse (Ballet) (1927)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/still-quit-dat-foolnish\"\u003eQuit Dat Fool'nish\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/still-serenade-1957\"\u003eSerenade (1957)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwanee River (1939)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Grant Still Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43638688546895,"sku":"WGSM-008","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/4404084bf68eac05bbaeb20c6bb67def.jpg?v=1759260426"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/collections\/still-serenade-1957.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
