http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sgo/texts/borroff2.html

Extractions: Still had gone to Wilberforce University (Ohio), a pre-med student as his mother wished, but he became more and more involved in musical matters until he could no longer deny that profession. It was as a family renegade that Still entered the musical world. Worse than that (for his mother), he affiliated himself with composer/produced/publisher W.C. Handy, who is remembered as the "Father of the Blues" and an important influence on popular music in the 20th century. In each of three phases of his career, Still was very much in a time and a place that defined his thinking. First was the training period, a full apprenticeship served in several places. He received instruction wherever he found it and in a wide scope of styles, from Handy to Chadwick and Varese. This background made Still one of few American composers who have achieved recognition without advanced study or a teaching career in an academic setting. The second phase was in New York, where he led two lives: that of an arranger and performer in popular music, and that of a composer of concert music. This phase culminated in his decision to investigate his African heritage and to being African musical ideals into his concert music; he composed the ballet

Extractions: Long known as the dean of Afro-American composers, William Grant Still was born May 11, 1895 in Woodville, Mississippi to musician parents of African-American, Native American, Spanish, Irish and Scotch heritage. Following the death of Still's father when William was only a few months old, the family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, where the young Still began has musical education with violin lessons from a private teacher and a stack of Red Seal opera recordings bought for him by his stepfather. Still received a B.S. degree from Wilberforce University, spending his time there conducting the band and learning to play the various instruments in it as he made his first attempts to compose and orchestrate. His subsequent studies at Oberlin Conservatory of Music were financed at first through his father's legacy, and later through a scholarship established just for him by the faculty.
Alain Locke
Background information for an exhibit on the composer william grant still.
http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sgo/exhibit/captions/caption40.html

Extractions: Alain Locke (b. September 13, 1885 Philadelphia, Pa. d. Washington, D.C. 1954) is best known for his involvement with the Harlem Renaissance, although his work and influence extend well beyond. Through The New Negro , published in 1925, Locke popularized and most adequately defined the Renaissance as a movement in black arts and letters. His interest and writings cover a wide range of topics, including philosophy, music, art, literature, anthropology, political theory, sociology, and African Studies. Besides his chairing and teaching in the Department of Philosophy at Howard University, he spent a great deal of time advising and encouraging many African American artists in various fields. This letter touches on several issues, including the development of black musicians and schools such as Fisk or Howard; ideas for setting Mrs. Biddle's (Katharine Garrison Chapin) poem on lynching (which would later develop into Still's cantata, And They Lynched Him On a Tree ) to music and informs him that Mrs. Biddle will get in touch with him. He also mentions that her brother-in-law, George Biddle, is the unpublicized friend responsible for the federal art idea with President Roosevelt.

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: Long known as the Dean of American Negro composers, as well as one of Americas foremost composers, William Grant Still has had the distinction of becoming a legend in his own lifetime. On May 11, 1895, he was born in Woodville (Wilkinson County) Mississippi, to parents who were teachers and musicians. They were of Negro, Indian, Spanish, Irish and Scotch bloods. When William was only a few months old, his father died and his mother took him to Little Rock, Arkansas, where she taught English in the high school. There his musical education beganwith violin lessons from a private teacher, and with later inspiration from the Red Seal operatic recordings bought for him by his stepfather. In Wilberforce University, he took courses leading to a B.S. degree, but spent most of his time conducting the band, learning to play the various instruments involved and making his initial attempts to compose and to orchestrate. His subsequent studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music were financed at first by a legacy from his father, and later by a scholarship established just for him by the faculty.
