Oft als "Dekan der afroamerikanischen Komponisten" bezeichnet, erhielt William Grant Still viele Ehrungen für seine bahnbrechende Musik für Konzertpodium, Film und Fernsehen. Stills unverwechselbare Werke verwenden afro-amerikanische Formen wie Blues, Spirituals und Jazz innerhalb eines neo-romantischen Idioms. Er erklärte, dass seine Vierte Symphonie "den Geist des amerikanischen Volkes repräsentieren" solle, eine idée fixe, die die vier kontrastierenden Sätze zu einem ansprechenden Ganzen vereinigt. Seine triumphale Fünfte Symphonie feiert "die gemeinsame Nutzung von Ressourcen und Errungenschaften", die der Komponist als den Schlüssel zur Größe Amerikas ansah.
Often referred to as the 'dean of African-American composers', William Grant Still received many honours for his pioneering music for the concert platform, film and television. Still's most distinctive works use African-American forms such as the blues, spirituals and jazz within a neo-romantic idiom. He declared that his Fourth Symphony was 'intended to represent the spirit of the American people', an idée fixe unifying its four contrasting movements into an appealing whole. His triumphant Fifth Symphony celebrates 'the sharing of resources and achievements' which the composer saw as the key to America's greatness.
