  • January 25,1996 Western Carolinian Asheville Symphony Celebrates Black History Month Features The Asheville Symphony and Diana Wortham Theatre celebrate Black History Month with four 50-minute concerts on Tuesday, February 6. The Symphony's Chamber Orchestra will perform the first movement of the Afro-American Symphony by composer William Grant Still and the Lincoln Portrait by composer Aaron Copland. Concert times are 9:30, 10:30, 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the Theatre. William Grant Still was born in Woodville, Mississippi, and reared in Little Rock. He was a model son who followed his mother's wishes, majoring in pre-medicine at Wilberforce University in Ohio. Educated in a literate and well-to-do background, he was seen as a family renegade when he joined the music world, exacerbated by his affiliation with W.C. Handy, Father of the Blues. Jazz and ragtime, the latest developments in the musical '20s, were viewed as irreligious by Still's mother, who was classically educated and considered European Romanticism as the standard of the era. Nevertheless, Still achieved a varied career in New York, as both an arranger and performer of popular music, in addition to composing concert pieces. Intertwining his African-American heritage into his compositions, Still composed the ballet Sahdjiin 1930 and the Afro-American Symphony in 1931. For twenty years, his symphony was the most popular of any symphony composed by an American, performed by 38 different orchestras in the United States and Europe. In notes for a 1965 recording, Still wrote, "It was not until the Depression struck that I went jobless long enough to let the symphony take shape." After receiving a Fulbright Award in 1935, Still moved to Los Angeles where he was a successful arranger for popular musicians, among them Paul Whiteman, Artie Shaw and Sophie Tucker. Arranger and conductor for the major radio networks and later for television, he wrote music for such noted films as "Lost Horizons," "Pennies from Heaven," and "Stormy Weather." At the same time, operas, orchestral works, chamber music, songs, piano music continued to flow—all of it reflecting his own particular musical viewpoint. Still fused his earliest European Romanticism studies with African and American musical idioms for a sound clearly his own. Today, black composers of the avant-garde, such as T.J. Anderson, Alvin Singleton and Oily Wilson, credit William Grant Still as the beginning point for their own use of African and African-American elements in concert music.Still's Afro-American Symphony is the first major symphony by a black composer. He was the first American composer to use the blues in a symphony. Copland's Lincoln Portrait is a tribute to the leadership and courage of the United States' 16th president during the Civil War. The Lincoln Portrait will be narrated by local artists "Rocky" Fulp and Becky Stoke. Members of the Asheville-Buncombe County Youth Orchestra will supplement the Symphony's musicians for the performances. The concert is sponsored by grants from the Arts Alliance, the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina and the Asheville Pediatric Group. Tickets are $5 each and are available at the Asheville Symphony Office at (704) 254-7046 and at the Diana Wortham Box Office at (704) 254-4530. For further information, please call (704) 254-7046. Information contributed by the Asheville Symphony Blizzard Provides Ski Opportunity by David C. Westbrook Contributing Writer The mountains of Western North Carolina are excellent for exploring the enjoyment of nature. The natural borders of sunlit horizons are places where intoxicating experiences lie. Skiing down the sides of these mountains has been especially enjoyable this year. The snow of '96 created a landscape that could be enjoyed by everyone and ski conditions that are rarely seen in North Carolina. The "Blizzard of '96," as it was officially dubbed by the Weather Channel, greatly improved the ski conditions in Boone and Maggie Valley. Snow blessed many with great descents on the powdery slopes. Many students had the opportunity to take advantage of this "white blessing," the term given the snow by skiers and snow boarders. While skiing or snow boarding, some people experience an awareness felt only when sliding down a snow-covered mountain with only friction from the snow and wind to counteract the force of gravity. This awareness of simple physical laws is possessed within everyone, but skiers and snow boarders are made especially aware of the power of gravity and friction. Descending the powdery slopes of our mountains during and following the blizzard was a wonderful experience for many "powder junkies." With the newborn snow on the ground, skiers and snow boarders were able, for a short time, to descend mountains of powder rather than ice. Powder on ski slopes is always a welcome guest for many reasons, one being the snow's soft surface to fall on—with the soft snow even a fall can be a fun experience.
