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. Judy Garland in particular is an exemplary performer of this period; her life parallels the troubles and careers of many other performers in this era. 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. These are the culmination of unseen efforts rehearsing music, planning logistics, and organizing personnel.

  • Influences on Gershwin
    Irving Berlin born Israel Isidore Baline Irving Berlin was born in Tyumen, Russia, on May 11, 1888, and immigrated to New York as a child. He would become one of the most popular songwriters in the United States, with hits like "Alexander's Ragtime Band," “God Bless America,” " Blue Skies,” “What’ll I Do" and "White Christmas." Berlin's film and Broadway musical work included Puttin’ on the Ritz, Easter Parade and Annie Get Your Gun. He died in New York City on September 22, 1989, at age 101. Irving Berlin was born Israel Baline on May 11, 1888, in the village of Tyumen, Russia. His family fled to escape the region's persecution of the Jewish community and settled in New York City in the mid-1890s. As a teen, Baline worked as a street singer, and by 1906 he had become a singing waiter in Chinatown. His first published tune was 1907's "Marie From Sunny Italy," with Nick Nicholson penning the music. As the lyricist, Baline's name was misspelled as "I. Berlin" on the sheet music. He decided to keep the name, becoming Irving Berlin • He group up in a home in lower Manhattan where Yiddish was the primary language spoken in the home • Most of his compositions were written using the 32-bar American Song Form Having a similar cultural background and upbringing, he served as a role model to both Ira and George Gershwin Musical Example: – Cheek to Cheek YIDDISH THEATRE & TIN PAN ALLEY INFLUENCES • George grew up around the Yiddish Theater District • They frequented the local Yiddish theaters, with George occasionally appearing onstage as an extra • At the age of 15, Gershwin found his first job as a "song plugger" for Jerome H.

  • 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.
