Note: W. C. Handy’s classic St Louis Blues is practically synonymous with the blues style. It has gone through many transformations by many musicians. This arrangement is based on the original published version of 1914. Blues music is not always “blue” in its mood, and it incorporates well into jazz and popular music sets.

Other classics by W. C. Handy, arranged for string quartet, are available: Memphis Blues, Beale Street
