Title A name given to the resource Three Visions Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1936 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grant Still, William (1895-1978) Description An account of the resource Black composer William Grant Still (known as the "Dean of Afro-American Composers") wrote the "Three Visions" suite in 1935 for solo piano. <br /><br />As written in the<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Visions"> Wikipedia article</a> on this work, the composer's daughter Judith Anne Still indicated that "The three segments of the suite, Dark Horsemen, Summerland, and Radiant Pinnacle, tell the story of the human soul after death: the body expires, and the soul goes on to an apocalyptic judgment. If it is seen that the past life has been a good one, the soul may enter “heaven,” or “Summerland”. After a period of time, the soul may reincarnate to learn additional earthly lessons on the human plane. Some souls reincarnate many times in a constant circular progress toward Godly perfection."<br /><br />Three Visions was composed by Still for his wife, Verna Arvey, who first played the composition in Los Angeles in 1936.
