Often referred to as the Dean of African-American Composers, William Grant Still's illustrious career contained many ground-breaking achievements. Following the massive success of his critically acclaimed first symphony, Afro-American Symphony (1930), Still's Symphony No. 2 was premiered in 1937 by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of conductor Leopold Stokowski. The work, subtitled Song of a New Race, infuses elements of blues and jazz into the classical form, creating a uniquely blended sound to reflect Still's vision of an increasingly diverse American culture. Slow, dreamy themes are expressed through lush harmonies utilizing thick textures along with solo and divisi playing. The tension between traditional and jazz idioms is felt in the push and pull of shifting tempo and tonality. Originally composed for full orchestra, this slightly abridged version for string orchestra includes the original harp part, honoring the legacy of one of America's greatest composers.

In diesem Stuck stehen keine Spielangaben, es ist dem Interpreten zur freien Gestaltung uberlassen. Und auch hier gibt es wieder zwei grundsatzlich verschiedene Interpretationsmoglichkeiten. Man kann es eher klassisch oder eher jazzmassig spielen. Dieser Streifzug durch die harmonische Welt des 20. Jahrhunderts lasst beides zu, wobei es neben der rhythmischen Auffassung noch einen weiteren, nicht unwesentlichen Unterschied gibt. Wahrend man in der Klassik bei Akkorden in der rechten Hand tendenziell die oberste Note leicht heraushebt, wird das im Jazz nicht so gemacht. Alle Tone sind gleich anzuschlagen, denn nur dann kann sich der Klang eines Akkordes vollstandig entfalten. Und Klassiker werden dieses Stuck wahrscheinlich schneller und damit virtuoser als ,,Jazzmusiker spielen, wobei naturlich manche Stellen dazu geradezu verleiten sollen. Etwas anders verhalt es sich bei den wiederkehrenden Sechzehntelketten. Wenn man diese Passagen sehr genau phrasiert, dann sollte man sie nicht zu schnell nehmen. Aber in Wahrheit habe Sie jede Freiheit, und deswegen sollte sie sich auch nehmen. Doch hier noch ein kleiner Tipp: es gibt ein paar Stellen (eine verrate ich Ihnen hier: Takt 222), wo ein Subitopiano Wunder wirkt, gerade dann, wenn man es am wenigsten erwartet. Das Stuck ist ubrigens Paul Gulda gewidmet, mit dem mich eine langer dauernde musikalische Freundschaft verbindet, und der mehrere Stucke von mir uraufgefuhrt hat. (M. Ruegg).

This setting of Psalm 126, expressing the melancholy of captivity as well as thanksgiving for deliverance, is more syncopated and upbeat than most. The melodic repetition in the refrain makes it easy for the assembly to respond, and the harmonization is jazzy and wistful. Youth and adult choirs will love this piece, plus there's a chance for solo or section to shine on the verses. Appropriate for Advent, Lent, and Ordinary Time (30B). For cantor or soloist.

Dieses Buch wendet sich an alle, die Jazzmusik in grosseren Formationen machen mochten, sei es im schulischen Rahmen, der hier besonders betont wird, oder im Freizeitbereich. Die verhaltnismassig geringe Zahl bigbandahnlicher Gruppen hat ihre Ursache gewiss nicht in mangelnder Musizierfreude. Gerade fur diese Bereiche des Ensemblespiels fehlt es vielerorts an Know-how und dem entsprechenden Literaturangebot. Deshalb wurde hier der Versuch unternommen, die eigenen Erfahrungen der Autoren zusammenzufassen, um sie weiteren Interessenten zuganglich zu machen. Von vorbereitenden Schritten und organisatorischen Problemen einer Big-Band-Grundung uber die Handhabung der Instrumente bis zu Arrangiertechniken, Artikulationshinweisen und einer Einfuhrung in die Jazzimprovisation wird versucht, in den praktischen Aufbau einer Amateur-Big-Band einzufuhren.
