Origi
nally written for violin
and piano, William Grant
Still's Suite for Violin
and Orchestra was
inspired by significant
artists of the Harlem
Renaissance. Each of
the three movements
depict three sculptures
created in the 1930s:
Richmond
Barthé’s
African Dancer, Sargent
Johnson’s Mother
and Child, and Augusta
Savage’s Gamin.
The suite follows
traditional
fast-slow-fast Classical
form. The first movement,
African Dancer,
illustrates the
unrestrained urgency of
the dancing figure using
varying tempi and hints
of the jazz. Mother and
Child, later arranged for
string orchestra alone,
sings a gently syncopated
melody in a soothing
lullaby. The final
movement, like the child
in the sculpture Gamin,
invokes mischievous and
playful motifs with
blues-infused fiddle
techniques.
