    Irving Berlin “This Is the Life!” The Breakthrough Years: 1909–1921 by Rick Benjamin “Irving Berlin remains, I think, America’s Schubert.” —George Gershwin It was a perfect late summer evening in 2015. A crowd had gathered in the park of a small Pennsylvania town to hear the high-school band. I was there to support my trombonist son and his friends. The others were also mostly parents and relatives of “band kids,” with a sprinkling of senior citizens and dog walkers. As the band launched its “covers” of current pop hits toward the treetops, some in the crowd were only half-listening; their digital devices were more absorbing. But then it happened: The band swung into a new tune, and the mood changed. Unconsciously people seemed to sit up a bit straighter. There was a smattering of applause. Hands and feet started to move in time with the beat. The seniors started to sing. One of those rare “public moments” was actually happening. Then I realized what the band was playing—“God Bless America.” Finally, here was something solid—something that resonated, even with these teenaged performers. The singing grew louder, and the performance ended with the biggest applause of the night. “God Bless America” was the grandest music of the concert, a mighty oak amongst the scrub. Yet the name of its creator—Irving Berlin—was never announced. It didn’t need to be. A man on a bench nearby said to me, “I just love those Irving Berlin songs.” Why is that, anyway? And how still? Irving Berlin was a Victorian who rose to fame during the Ragtime Era.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • Songs of the Ziegfeld Follies
    SONGS OF THE ZIEGFELD FOLLIES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Ann Ommen, B.M., M.A. The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Professor Graeme Boone, Adviser Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait Professor Danielle Fosler-Lussier _________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Ann Ommen 2007 ABSTRACT Enormously popular in their own time, the Ziegfeld Follies have become an icon of American popular culture. Produced annually by Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. between 1907 and 1931, these revues were and still are best-known for their lavish production numbers which brought unprecedented attention to members of the chorus. They have served as inspiration for generations of filmmakers, playwrights, and popular authors, but have only been studied by a small number of scholars, primarily those working in cultural studies. For the first time, this dissertation brings a musicological identity to the Follies by examining their songs. It addresses the legends surrounding certain songs so that their performance history can be better understood. It discusses representations of gender, race, and national identity in songs of the Follies, revealing the cultural beliefs Ziegfeld thought would be most acceptable to his largely white, middle-class audiences. It dissects comic song performances to show a specifically musical component to the humor of the Follies. Finally, it analyzes compositional techniques in the lyrics of Gene Buck and in the songs written by Irving Berlin for the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927 , the only Follies production to have been written by a single songwriter.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I’m pinching myself. Is it really the last show of the 14 – 15 season? Seems like just yesterday it was May ‘14 and I was announcing to my students what the shows you have enjoyed this season would be. Those announcements are always made full of anticipation and uncertainty. We embark bravely on a plan that is intentionally creative, complicated, academically valuable, Liberal Arts focused, challenging and fun. We pray that our plans will be Divinely blessed and pray the prayer that never fails, Thy Will Be Done. They were and it was and He did and we are thankful. It has been said that Irving Berlin didn’t write American music, he was American music. Over the years he was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular: uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to “reach the heart of the average American,” whom he saw as the “real soul of the country.” In doing so, said Walter Cronkite, at Berlin’s 100th birthday tribute, he “helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are and the dreams that shape our lives.” I Love a Piano then becomes somewhat of a review of the American narrative and an exploration of how art speaks into and reflects the culture and political climate in which it was written.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 8, 1987; Designation List 197 LP-1359 MUSIC BOX THEATER, 239-247 West 45th Street. Built 1920; architects C. Howard Crane & E. George Kiehler. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1017, Lot 11. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Music Box Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 55). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty -one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. Representatives of the two co-owners appeared at the hearing and indicated that neither had formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Music Box Theater survives today as one of the his to r ic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and t h e nation. Constructed shortly after the end of World Wa r I, the Music Box was built by producer Sam Harri s to house Irving Berlin's ~usic Box Re ~ues . Sam Harris was a legendary Broadway producer, who first reached fame through his successful partnership with George M. Cohan, and the n collaborated with Irving Berlin and later with Kaufman and Hart. Irving Berlin is among the greatest and best-known Ame rican s ongwriters of t his cen t ury.
