Edition Vol. 28 –
The Saint Louis Blues (8
pages) presents a rich
concert arrangement and
heartfelt, soulful
rendering of W.C.
Handy’s classic
song. Many pianists and
arrangers turn the song
into a fast and technical
tour de force; however,
pianist and arranger Cory
Hall does something
strikingly different and
original here by using
Handy’s original,
slow and melancholic
Habanera style rhythms
(indicated in the
original 1914
piano/vocal) and exact
chord structure as the
basis for an ethereal and
remarkably beautiful
interpretation. This
late-intermediate to
advanced level
arrangement is ideal for
the teaching studio and
concert hall.Piano
