He was the first African-American to conduct a major American symphony orchestra, the first to have a symphony of his own (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.

He was the son of two teachers, Carrie Lena Fambro Still (1872–1927) and William Grant Still (1871–1895), who was also a partner in a grocery store and performed as a local bandleader in his free time.

   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search William Grant Broughton from an old picture reproduced in The Book of St Andrew's Cathedral, S. M. Johnstone. William Grant Broughton (22 May 1788 – 20 February 1853) was the first (and only) Bishop of Australia of the Church of England . (The diocese was later restructured into many smaller sees.) Broughton was born at Westminster and educated well for his day, including at The King's School, Canterbury , where he was a King's scholar. His fortunes turned from commerce to theology when he inherited a substantial sum, allowing him to study at Cambridge University . He graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 1818, and was also in that year ordained deacon and priest and married to Sarah Francis. He became a Master of Arts in 1823. He first became a curate in Hampshire , then later in Surrey where he became noticed by the Duke of Wellington who materially assisted his prospects, including certain influence in Broughton being offered the Archdeaconry of Sydney. Broughton arrived in Sydney on 13 September 1829, succeeding Thomas Scott as

    Extractions: Though William Grant Still (1895-1978) was of a mixed lineage - Irish, Native American, Hispanic and African American - his country defined him as "black." Sometimes Still embraced the definition, sometimes chaffed under it; e.g.when called "the Dean of Afro-American Music " he is said to have responded "Why, then, isn't Aaron Copeland called the 'Dean of White Composers'?" He never disclaimed his African ancestry, but he also longed to fuse the many elements that were part of his -and our - national heritage, to be a truly American composer. This CD provides an excellent representation of this goal, with works ranging from a setting of "Swanee River" (which began life as a black folk song, was converted to a minstrel tune by Stephen Foster, then found it's way back into the folk tradition) to a ballet which concludes with a "cake walk," a round dance from plantation days. For over 10 years, The VocalEssence Ensemble Singers and Chorus (conducted by Philip Brunelle) has presented an enduring series of concerts showcasing the talents of trailblazing African American composers. Now this wealth of music is available outside the concert hall through a series of recordings called

    Extractions: An Outstanding Arkansas Composer William Grant Still B Y MARY D. HUDGINS Hot Springs H ONORING -THE 70TH BIRTHDAY OF WILLIAM GRANT STILL (1), OUTSTANDING AMERICAN composer, a number of 1965 musicals were scheduled throughout the United States and even in Europe. Among groups lauding Dr. Still's fifty years of significant contributions to the musical scene were: Abilene Philharmonic Association, Albuquerque Civic Symphony, Amherst Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Eastman School of Music, Goldman Band, Indianapolis Symphony, University of Miami Symphony, National Gallery Orchestra, Rochester Civic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic of London, Bureau of Music of Los Angeles and the Tucson Symphony. There was also a testimonial banquet given in his honor by the Los Angeles League of Allied Arts in the new Music Center of that city. Dr. Still is virtually a native of Little Rock; and was graduated at the age of 16 as valedictorian of the 1912 class of Dunbar High School. He is frequently heralded as "the dean of Negro composers." Throughout the years he has contributed rich and varied scores to musical America. His operas, symphonies, ballets, and other compositions have won critical acclaim. Nor has he scorned writing for multiple combinations of smaller instrumental groups, as well as for chorus and solo singers. 1. Special thanks are due Miss Clara B. Kennan, Little Rock, author of "Native of Little Rock Is Widely
