Meet George Gershwin at the Keyboard - Alfred Publishing Staff, George Gershwin - Google книги Among his best-known works are the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paristhe songs " Swanee " and " Fascinating Rhythm "the jazz standard " I Got Rhythm "and the opera Porgy and Bess which gave birth to the hit " Summertime ". He began his career as a song plugger but soon started composing Broadway theater works with his brother Ira Gershwin and with Buddy DeSylva. He moved to Paris intending to study with Nadia Boulangerbut she refused him. Initially a commercial failure, it came to be considered one of the most important American operas of the twentieth century and an American cultural classic. Gershwin moved to Hollywood and composed numerous film scores. He died in of a malignant brain tumor. Gershwin was of Russian-Jewish and Lithuanian-Jewish ancestry. His teenage son, Moishe Gershowitz, worked as a leather cutter for women's shoes. Moishe Gershowitz met and fell in love with Roza Bruskina, the teenage daughter of a furrier in Vilnius. She and her family moved to New York because of increasing anti-Jewish sentiment in Russia, changing her first name to Rose. Moishe, faced with Meet George Gershwin at the Keyboard: 16 Song Hits Arranged by the Composer military service if he remained in Russia, moved to America as soon as he could afford to. Once in New York, he changed his first name to Morris. Gershowitz lived with a maternal uncle in Brooklyn, working as a foreman in a women's shoe factory. His birth certificate identifies him Meet George Gershwin at the Keyboard: 16 Song Hits Arranged by the Composer Jacob Gershwin, with the surname pronounced 'Gersh-vin' in the Russian and Yiddish immigrant community. He had just one given name, contrary to the American practice of giving children both a first and a middle name. He was named after his grandfather, the army mechanic. He soon became known as George, and changed the spelling of his surname to 'Gershwin' around the time he became a professional musician; other family members followed suit. The family lived in many different residences, as their father changed dwellings with each new enterprise in which he became involved. They grew up mostly in the Yiddish Theater District. George and Ira frequented the local Yiddish theaters, with George occasionally appearing onstage as an extra. George lived a boyhood not unusual in New York tenements, which included running around with his friends, roller-skating and misbehaving in the streets. Untilhe cared nothing about music. Then as a ten-year-old, he was intrigued upon hearing his friend Maxie Rosenzweig's violin recital. At about the same time, George's parents had bought a piano for his older brother Ira. To his parents' surprise, though, and to Ira's relief, it was George who spent more time playing it as he continued to enjoy it. Although his younger sister Frances was the first in the family to make a living through her musical talents, she married young and devoted herself to being a mother and housewife, thus precluding spending any serious time on musical endeavors. Having given up her performing career, she settled upon painting as a creative outlet, which had also been a hobby George briefly pursued. Arthur Gershwin followed in the paths of George and Ira, also becoming a composer of songs, musicals, and short piano works. With a degree of frustration, George tried various piano teachers for about two years circa before finally being introduced to Charles Hambitzer by Jack Miller circathe pianist in the Beethoven Symphony Orchestra. Until his death inHambitzer remained Gershwin's musical mentor, taught him conventional piano technique, introduced him to music of the European classical tradition, and encouraged him to attend orchestral concerts. InGershwin left school at the age of 15 and found his first job as a " song plugger ". His employer was Jerome H. It earned him 50 cents. He produced dozens, if not hundreds, of rolls under his own and assumed names pseudonyms attributed to Gershwin include Fred Murtha and Bert Wynn. He also recorded rolls of his own compositions for the Duo-Art and Welte-Mignon reproducing pianos. As well as recording piano rolls, Gershwin made a brief foray into vaudevilleaccompanying both Nora Bayes and Louise Dresser on the piano. In he scored Meet George Gershwin at the Keyboard: 16 Song Hits Arranged by the Composer first big national hit with his song " Swanee ," with words by Irving Caesar. Al Jolsona famous Broadway singer of the day, heard Gershwin perform "Swanee" at a party and decided to sing it in one of his shows. In the late s, Gershwin met songwriter and music director William Daly. The two collaborated on the Broadway musicals Piccadilly to Broadway and For Goodness' Sakeand jointly composed the score for Our Nell This was the beginning of a long friendship. Daly was a frequent arranger, orchestrator and conductor of Gershwin's music, and Gershwin periodically turned to him for musical advice. InGershwin composed his first major classical work, Rhapsody in Bluefor orchestra and piano. It subsequently went on to be his most popular work, and established Gershwin's signature style and genius in blending vastly different musical styles in revolutionary ways. Since the early s Gershwin had frequently worked with the lyricist Buddy DeSylva. Together they created the experimental one-act jazz opera Blue Mondayset in Harlem. It is widely regarded as a forerunner to the groundbreaking Porgy and Bess. In the mids, Gershwin stayed in Paris for a short period of time, during which he applied to study composition with the noted Nadia Boulangerwho, along with several other prospective tutors such as Maurice Ravelturned him down, afraid that rigorous classical study would ruin his jazz -influenced style. This work received mixed reviews upon its first performance at Carnegie Hall on December 13,but it quickly became part of the standard repertoire in Europe and the United States. Kaufman, Morrie Ryskind, and Ira Gershwin. He was inspired to write the music to his opera Porgy Meet George Gershwin at the Keyboard: 16 Song Hits Arranged by the Composer Bess while on this working vacation. But the work has sort of always been outside category. Gershwin's extended score, which would marry ballet with jazz in a new way, runs over an hour in length. It took Gershwin several months to compose and orchestrate. Gershwin had a ten-year affair with composer Kay Swiftwhom he frequently consulted about his music. The two never married, although she eventually divorced her husband James Warburg in order to commit to the relationship.

This thesis paper, as well as·the accompanying recital, delves into the topic of The Great American Songbook Through the Lens of Judy Garland. The Great American Songbook is a collection of American standard repertoire from the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth.

By exploring and performing songs that Garland performed during her career, this paper relates the history of American music to the life of the acclaimed Judy Garland. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Jon Truitt for the guidance, insight, advice, and training he has provided me with throughout this project and these past four years. His help with the many performance endeavors of my collegiate career has been invaluable. I would also like to thank my mom and dad for inspiring a curiosity and interest in music at a young age. Lastly, thank you to Julian for always listening with kind and encouraging ears. Process Analysis Statement Recitals, concerts, and cabarets are important events in a music educator's profession.

  • Capitol Records Tower
    CAPITOL RECORDS TOWER The Conservancy’s Position About Capitol Records Tower Slideshow Photo by Adrian Scott Fine/L.A. Conservancy. As you may have seen in the news, new development is slated near Hollywood’s iconic Capitol Records Tower (Welton Becket and Associates, 1956). The tower’s owners, developers Millennium Partners and Argent Ventures, recently announced plans for the Millennium Hollywood Project, a mixed-use complex with residential units and hotel, office, restaurant, and retail space. It would rise on both the east and west sides of the 1700 block of North Vine Street, incorporating. the landmarked Capitol Records Tower. Tenant EMI Music would continue to use the building as office space and recording studios. The environmental review process for the project began in May 2011 with the release of a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an environmental impact report (EIR). In the next step in the process, the owners will prepare a draft EIR to identify the environmental effects of the project and study alternatives to reduce significant negative impacts. In 2006, the Conservancy’s Modern Committee successfully nominated the Capitol Records Tower as a City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM); it was designated as HCM #857. As a result, the EIR will treat the building as a historic resource and evaluate the project’s potential impacts on it. The Conservancy commented on the NOP, and the public will have the chance to comment on the draft EIR when it when it becomes available.
