These are comments of children,
probably the most important critics, who heard Still's The Little
Song That Wanted to be a Symphony. The Little Song that Wanted to be a Symphony was one of the many collaborations between William Grant Still and Verna Arvey. While the Stills spent much of their time and energy writing opera, they also wrote for younger audiences. However, their work does not suffer in craftsmanship because of their projected audience. This work has appeal for listeners of all ages.
