William Christopher [W.C.] Handy, (who often referred to himself as the Father of the Blues'), first published "St. Louis Blues," (The jazzman's Hamlet), his most famous composition, in 1914. It became one of the most popular and celebrated jazz standards in history. The musical style of a tango merged with the blues, and lyrics, a lament about a woman on the streets of St. Louis distraught over her husband's absence written in a southern dialect style make this a fascinating introduction to the evolution of the blues' for student and audience member alike. Arranged for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment, and notated for a classically trained group of musicians, this entry level primer serves not only to inform but present Handy's creativity and genius. Performance time: 6:00+ An apt study for Black History month.
