  • 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.

  • Over There” – Nora Bayes (1917) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “Over There” – Nora Bayes (1917) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by Cary O’Dell “Over There” sheet music Original release label George M. Cohan featuring Nora Bayes A song forever intertwined with American patriotism and World War I especially, Nora Bayes’ “Over There” was named to the National Recording Registry in 2005. “Over There” was the work of prolific Broadway tunesmith George M. Cohan who supposedly wrote the tune while on a train, inspired by a rash of war-related headlines on the newspapers around him. It would prove to be Cohan’s only song ever written not specifically for a stage musical. It would also prove to be the final piece of Cohan’s patriotic, if unofficial, musical triptych, positioned after “Yankee Doodle Dandy” (written in 1904) and “You’re a Grand Ole Flag” (written in 1906). Though some sources credit Broadway singer Charles King with the first public performance of “Over There,” Bayes quickly became identified with the song, and she is praised in period accounts for public renditions of the song even before she recorded it for Victor on July 13, 1917. Her recording competed with strong versions by various male soloists, quartets and orchestras, including ones by Enrico Caruso and Billy Murray, a leading performer of Cohan songs who had scored a massive hit in 1906 with his version of “You’re a Grand Old Rag.” It is her version of “Over There,” however, that has endured. Bayes (born Eleanora Goldberg on October 3, 1880) was a major star of early 20th century recording, Broadway and vaudeville.
