Air for the G String, created by Humphrey in 1928, is a grave,  sculptural dance to Bach, in which five women in long Renaissance-like  draperies move slowly in procession. It is an abstract piece–no  story–but it has a devout, almost religious look. Air for the G String is  an unusual work for Humphrey–her outlook was humanist, not religious,  and she concentrated on human relationships.
