  • Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) Was An
    Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his dom ineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve succe ss in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Br oadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote th e lyrics as well as the music for his songs. After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and 30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It w on the first Tony Award for Best Musical. Porter's other musicals include Fifty Million Frenchmen, DuBarry Was a Lady, Any thing Goes, Can-Can and Silk Stockings. His numerous hit songs include "Night an d Day","Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "Well, Did You Evah!", "I 've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also composed scores for films from the 1930s to the 1950s, including Born to D ance (1936), which featured the song "You'd Be So Easy to Love", Rosalie (1937), which featured "In the Still of the Night"; High Society (1956), which included "True Love"; and Les Girls (1957).

    POPULAR SONG: BLUES, JAZZ, SWING AND BIG BAND: AOS2 125 ‘ANYTHING GOES’ ‘ANYTHING Singing style When listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing, pay attention to the following characteristics: An accomplished technique – she maintained the quality of her voice for a long career of over 50 years. Her voice has presence and warmth, and a bright, youthful character. She has a wide range, spanning over three octaves. She has a very accurate sense of pitch, both in low and high registers. Her voice is agile and flexible, moving easily between registers and singing fast pieces without straining in tone and intonation. She has a sure sense of swing and a lightness of rhythm. Syncopation and the ocr anticipation or delay of notes and phrases are natural and precisely placed. Composers liked her truthful approach to their music. She lets the melody speak forby itself without adding exaggerated touches. She was an excellent scat singer, using her experience as a band singer and her knowledge of bebop to perform extended scat sections in her performances. A LEVEL PRESCRIBED WORK 2018 endorsement ‘Anything Goes’ to ‘Anything Goes’ was written for Ethel Merman, a popular Broadway singer. She starred (with Bing Crosby) in the 1936subject movie of the same name, and also in a 1954 live television version with Frank Sinatra. Her bold tone, clear diction and strong personality were ideal for musical theatre, where singers had to project their performance without the help of microphones. Ella Fitzgerald’s version is sung in the key of G, with the introduction in G minor. There are two verses, in 32-bareducation: song form (AABA ).

  • Cole Porter Classic 'Kiss Me Kate' to Be Performed at Merced College 2/8/16, 7:24 AM
    Merced College - Cole Porter Classic 'Kiss Me Kate' to be Performed at Merced College 2/8/16, 7:24 AM About Us Cole Porter Classic ‘Kiss Me Kate’ Office of Institutional to be Performed at Merced College Advancement Alumni Affairs One of the most enduring classics of American musical theater is taking the stage at Foundation Merced College. Cole Porter’s “Kiss Me Kate,” which won five Tony awards in its original Newsletter Archive production, opens on Friday, March 17 at 8 p.m. Public Affairs Staff “Kiss Me Kate” was a personal triumph for Cole Porter, becoming his biggest Broadway hit after many had thought his career was over. Eventually, the production ran for 1,077 Contact Us performances, was made into a successful 1953 MGM musical film, and was revised on Broadway in 1999, earning an additional four Tonys. “This is a very challenging musical,” said Merced College drama instructor and director Fred Friedland. “When I heard the voices of those who were auditioning for roles, I knew this was going to be a great production. I was just knocked out by these great voices I was hearing.” “Kiss Me Kate” is loosely based upon Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” It concerns stage actors putting on a musical version of the Shakespeare comedy, hence “Kiss Me Kate’s” “play within a play” storyline. The musical’s two leading protagonists, Fred Grahame and Lilli Vannessi, are a divorced couple brought back together to stage the production. The pair begins to fight when Lilli discovers Fred’s romance with the show’s ingénue, Lois Lane.

  • Bohuslän Big Band with Nils Landgren Directed by Colin Towns
    Bohuslän Big Band with Nils Landgren directed by Colin Towns Don`t Fence Me In ACT 9028-2 German Release Date: March 25, 2011 As diverse and vibrant as the Swedish jazz scene may be, it’s not possible to avoid market trends even here. There are only two professional, continuously working big bands in the country – the Norrbotten and the Bohuslän Big Bands. The latter originated during the Fifties from a military band whose tradition dates back to the early 19 th century. The Bohuslän region and the city of Vara support the orchestra, which allows the group to develop its diverse activities, ranging from performances at Swedish schools to regular appearances at the big international festivals with about 100 annual concerts worldwide. The Bohuslän Big Band has always aimed to uphold the big band tradition and ensure its further contemporary development. That their extensive project work, so far recorded on sixteen albums and one DVD, revolves around this intent goes without saying. The orchestra has over many years collaborated with well known composers and arrangers: Maria Schneider, Bob Mintzer, Kenny Wheeler, Avishai Cohen and Bengt-Arne Wallin to name but a few. Most recently US trumpeter Lew Soloff collaborated on a Gershwin project with the band, and star bassist Steve Swallow compiled a programme for the Jazzbaltica Festival 2009 from his repertoire, appropriately entitled “Swallow Songs”. Since 2007 Nils Landgren has been the artistic director of the Bohuslän Big Band, a role for which he is perfect in many ways: “Mr. Red Horn” is one of the world’s best trombonists and one of the best known jazz figures in Scandinavia.

  • I Wish to Draw the Panel's Attention to the Following Document That I Have
    I wish to draw the panel’s attention to the following document that I have written in clarification of the extensive creative role of the professional arranger in comparison with that of the original composer. All about the project: "Anything Goes: The music of Cole Porter" 2011 - additional material devised and arranged by Wayne Senior The creative role of the arranger. The creative role of the arranger is often misunderstood by academics or those of the 'classical music' mindset as being somewhat lesser than the work of a composer of (so called) 'serious music'. The creative arranger is a highly skilled artisan who utilises all the best attributes of both composer and orchestrator to create a completely new setting to suit the artist(s) and/or musicians singing or performing an existing piece of music. In fact, the arranger's role is not dissimilar to that of the composer who takes an existing tune (a folk song, for instance) and reworks it to become a theme for a symphonic work. In essence the final arranged work will often contain more new and original work composed by the arranger than that of the writer. The arranging process may involve any or all of the following: *A new routine for the song through the judicious editing of existing material to appropriately shorten or lengthen the piece. *A tempo or rhythmic approach different from that of the tune as originally conceived. *A new key dependent on the artist(s) to sing the work, or to suit the available instrumentation and the players technical abilities.
