here I was thinking that Gershwin created the 1-6-2-5 progression out of thin air. it's right here in the third movement! melody's the same too. I'd thought he went through all the musical possibilities and came up with the sound all by himself. through rigorous, abstract experimenting. guess not.

this is from the wiki page of I Got Rhythm: "The four-note opening riff bears a striking resemblance to the opening melody of the third movement of William Grant Still's Symphony No. 1, "Afro-American." In the 1920s, Still played in the pit orchestra for Shuffle Along, and speculated that Gershwin may have borrowed the melody from his improvisations in the pit, which were later used in his own symphony. In 1987 Still's daughter, Judith Anne Still, wrote in a letter that Gershwin stole the song from her father. '... my father said that Gershwin came to the Negro shows in Harlem to get his inspiration, stealing melodies wholesale from starving minority composers and then passing them off as his own. "I Got Rhythm" was my father's creation, according to Eubie Blake.'"

OK, I'm sorry but the percussion section sucked!!! Off time, sped-up timing, off beat on the down beat. Come on?!?!? Otherwise, a nice tribute to this great African-American composer.

TikTok enlightened me about MR. STILL and I was trained in classical piano & voice - all Caucasian. Yet, I am aware of Duke Ellington, Scott Joplin & Phillipa Schuyler, Marian Anderson, etc., but how did Mr. Still's musical genius get overlooked? BRAVO, MAESTRO~✨💝

The syncopation across instrument sections is such a great effect. Like a big stride piano.

I was raised in Houston Tx, and have lived in northwest Arkansas the past 40 years, but TAMPA FLORIDA is the city of my birth and early childhood, so I delight in these videos. Thank you for making them available.

Splendid performance of a rarely-heard work. It is shameful that W.G. Still is not a familiar American composer.

Not easy for Pamela. The orchestra seems to be semiprofessional or amateur, mostly to loud, not breathing with the music and the solo violon plays... but she floats well through the beautiful music. 👏

I played this arrangement in the All State band in HS. I have loved it ever since. Few people do it right, though. It needs a lot of punch up front. fff strike on the timpani and bell tones from the brass and a slight pause before the last group of ascending chords at the end and a very big finish. One of the most beautiful arrangements of this song of all time.

So wonderful to see all you beautiful TBS colleagues. A concert you can all be proud of. The cohesiveness of this performance is so well worth noting. Tip of the hat to Maestro Sforzini and all the members of TBS. As a community orchestra, you excel and continue to show your dedication to an endeavor that is not your primary focus in life, yet is still of the very highest caliber. My heart is full, seeing and hearing all of you again!
