  • Descrição: William Grant Still’s Seven Traceries (1940) is a set of piano pieces that exhibits a number of post-tonal materials and techniques such as octatonicism, extended tertian sonorities, dense chromaticism, and extensive motivic development. Still’s concentration on these more contemporary features marks definite contrasts from the more conservative character of his acclaimed, and perhaps better-known, nationalist compositions from the early 1930s. Studies of post-tonal music in theory and history courses would benefit from an expansion of repertoire, and the Traceries provide solid examples of the aforementioned materials and techniques as well as extensions to our pedagogy and teaching pieces by way of a diverse voice in Western concert music. This essay draws attention to the pedagogical potential of two of the Traceries (“Woven Silver” and “Out of the Silence”) and extends discourses on Still into non-black-nationalist compositions. Through general orientations and examinations of structural details, I demonstrate the applicability of the two selected Traceries for music theory or history courses.
