For Piano. Composed by W.C. Handy. Keyboard, Piano/Harpsichord. Music Theory. Score. Subito Music Corporation #12800028. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.12800028). BachScholar Edition Vol. 28 – The Saint Louis Blues (8 pages) presents a rich concert arrangement and heartfelt, soulful rendering of W.C. Handy’s classic song. Many pianists and arrangers turn the song into a fast and technical tour de force; however, pianist and arranger Cory Hall does something strikingly different and original here by using Handy’s original, slow and melancholic Habanera style rhythms (indicated in the original 1914 piano/vocal) and exact chord structure as the basis for an ethereal and remarkably beautiful interpretation. This late-intermediate to advanced level arrangement is ideal for the teaching studio and concert hall.Piano Published by: BachScholar.
