The William Grant Still and Verna Arvey Papers Description from the Special Collections Brochure Series William Grant Still left his papers to the University of Arkansas Libraries in his will. Some materials were transferred to the Special Collections Division before his death, and the remainder of the collection came after the death of his widow, Verna Arvey, in 1987. Arrangement and description of the Still-Arvey papers were supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The collection (finding aid available online) is a rich resource documenting the lives and careers of Still and Arvey, and includes musical scores, literary manuscripts, correspondence, diaries, scrapbooks, a log of performances of Still's compositions, and dream books for both Still and Arvey. In addition, the collection contains sheet music, audio recordings, photographs, and books. The Still-Arvey collection covers most of the twentieth century, from 1920 to 1988. Because Still and Arvey were active participants in the cultural life of their times, and because of Still's stature in the African-American community, the collection has value for research in music, musicology, literature, cultural history, and African-American studies. Since the arrival of the first increment of the Still papers at the University of Arkansas, researchers have shown considerable interest in the collection. Their works include theses and dissertations, biographies of William Grant Still and Langston Hughes, and numerous articles and academic papers.

ARKANSAS HISTORICAL QUARTERLY, Volume XXIV, Number 4 (Winter 1965) , p. An Outstanding Arkansas Composer William Grant Still B Y MARY D. HUDGINS Hot Springs H ONORING -THE 70TH BIRTHDAY OF WILLIAM GRANT STILL (1), OUTSTANDING AMERICAN composer, a number of 1965 musicals were scheduled throughout the United States and even in Europe. Among groups lauding Dr. Still's fifty years of significant contributions to the musical scene were: Abilene Philharmonic Association, Albuquerque Civic Symphony, Amherst Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Eastman School of Music, Goldman Band, Indianapolis Symphony, University of Miami Symphony, National Gallery Orchestra, Rochester Civic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic of London, Bureau of Music of Los Angeles and the Tucson Symphony. There was also a testimonial banquet given in his honor by the Los Angeles League of Allied Arts in the new Music Center of that city. Dr. Still is virtually a native of Little Rock; and was graduated at the age of 16 as valedictorian of the 1912 class of Dunbar High School. He is frequently heralded as "the dean of Negro composers." Throughout the years he has contributed rich and varied scores to musical America. His operas, symphonies, ballets, and other compositions have won critical acclaim. Nor has he scorned writing for multiple combinations of smaller instrumental groups, as well as for chorus and solo singers. 1. Special thanks are due Miss Clara B.

Biographical Sketch of William Grant Still By Dr. Edith Borroff Professor Emeritus of Music SUNY Binghamton (Retired) Still had gone to Wilberforce University (Ohio), a pre-med student as his mother wished, but he became more and more involved in musical matters until he could no longer deny that profession. It was as a family renegade that Still entered the musical world. Worse than that (for his mother), he affiliated himself with composer/produced/publisher W.C. Handy, who is remembered as the "Father of the Blues" and an important influence on popular music in the 20th century. In each of three phases of his career, Still was very much in a time and a place that defined his thinking. First was the training period, a full apprenticeship served in several places. He received instruction wherever he found it and in a wide scope of styles, from Handy to Chadwick and Varese.
