W.C. Handy, “Father of the Blues”
b. 11-16-1873; Florence, AL
d. 3-28-1955; NY

Composer and musician William Christopher Handy is widely known as the “Father of the Blues”. Handy managed to learn music through guitar, organ and cornet, even though his father, a minister, thought musical instruments were the work of the devil.

His St. Louis Blues was published in 1912, and is credited as inspiration for the foxtrot dance by Vernon and Irene Castle.

Handy was also qualified as a teacher but the pay was so low he went back to working in the iron industry in Alabama.

Gustav Holst
b. 9-21-1874; Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England
d. 5-25-1934;
London (complications of surgery)

Gustav Holst, composer, teacher and conductor, is best remembered for The Planets, a seven-movement orchestral suite with each movement named after a solar system planet and corresponding astrological character.

Gustav Holst quotes ~
• “Never compose anything unless the not composing of it becomes a positive nuisance to you.”
• “Music, being identical with heaven, isn't a thing of momentary thrills, or even hourly ones. It's a condition of eternity.”
• “If nobody likes your work, you have to go on just for the sake of the work. And you're in no danger of letting the public make you repeat yourself. Every artist ought to pray that he may not be “a success”. If he's a failure he stands a good chance of concentrating upon the best work of which he's capable.”
• “One of the advantages of being over forty is that one begins to learn the difference between knowing and realising.”
• “The enormity of the universe revealed by science cannot readily be grasped by the human brain, but the music of The Planets enables the mind to acquire some comprehension of the vastness of space where rational understanding fails.”
• “About ‘Aristocracy in art’ - art is not for all but only for the chosen few - but the only way to find those few is to bring art to everyone - then the artists have a sort of masonic signal by which they recognise each other in the crowd.”
• “That the artist is born again & starts afresh with every new work.”

FYI ~ Holst was one of many composers who set a Robert Bridges' poet to music.
