Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Programme Notes Online Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Programme Notes Online Songs from the Musicals for Valentine’s Day Friday 14 FeBruary 2020 7.30pm As those who have made true love work know, romance requires patience, a quality at odds with a world in which any song (Spotify) and any person (Tinder) might potentially Be availaBle at the press of an icon on any phone in any pocket or handBag, anywhere in the world. And yet the emotions of romance won’t leave us, Being fundamental to what it is to Be human. So is it any wonder that, rather than the overly-direct, no-questions- asked songs of the present, on the default most romantic day of the year we turn to the music of a previous, less instant, more patient era? And doing so, we find time and again that the music of the great Broadway musicals of the mid-20th century particularly fit the mood, Being charming, playful, witty, Beautiful and, oh, so flirtatious. So come with us tonight as we celeBrate Valentine’s Day By falling head over heels for a selection of the finest, most romantic songs from the Great American Broadway SongBook. We begin with the Overture from The King And I, the first of many works we’ll hear tonight from the pen of the legendary songwriting team of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics). The story was Based on the real life experiences of English governess Anna Leonowens, who spent six years at the court of the king of Siam in the 1860s. It Became a smash Broadway hit in 1951, via a 1943 novel and a 1946 (non-musical) film. Listen out for how many of the iconic melodies you can name. Before Richard Rodgers ever wrote a note with Hammerstein II he enjoyed a hugely successful 20-year musical partnership with Lorenz Hart. One of the last musicals they wrote together was The Boys From Syracuse (1938), Based loosely on Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, and from it we’ll hear Falling In Love With Love, a lyrical waltz which wittily dissects the very idea of romance. Younger Than Springtime finds us Back with Rodgers & Hammerstein for a number from South Pacific, a haunting paean to one of the great aspects of romance – youthful innocence. Implicit here is the notion that nothing, not tender years, spring leaves, or romance, lasts for ever. Now for a change of composer – music and lyrics By the great Cole Porter and So In Love from Kiss Me, Kate. A late-night smoky Ballad filled with ache and longing, it continues the Shakespeare connection, the show Being a version of The Taming of the Shrew. The song is so versatile Shirley Bassey recorded a version which made it seem like a long lost Bond title song. The tragedy of King Arthur, Genevieve and Sir Lancelot is one of the great romances in all literature, so inevitaBly formed the Basis for a great Broadway show, Camelot By Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner. If Ever Would I Leave You uses the passage of the seasons to capture Lancelot’s romantic devotion. Spamalot, it ain’t. An instrumental diversion now, the lovely Waltz For A Ball, another melody from Richard Rodgers, this time hailing from the only musical he and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote for television, the 1957 Cinderella. The Broadcast starred a 21-year-old Julie Andrews and was watched By an estimated 100 million people. Next we stay with Rodgers & Hammerstein for Love, Look Away from Flower Drum Song. Set in San Francisco’s Chinatown, it is a show which is rarely revived due to concerns over the portrayal of Chinese-Americans. Indeed, a new production, 20 years ago, offered a revised, more culturally sensitive plot. Whatever the controversies, it gave us tonight’s lovely melody, a soprano Ballad as operatic as it is theatrical. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is Stephen Sondheim’s witty take on love and life in ancient Rome. Love, I Hear is classic early Sondheim, stylistically a little more modern than the older generation of Broadway composers, But still with a yearning, tender heart. It’s Back to Rodgers & Hart now, for My Funny Valentine – that’s funny peculiar, not ha-ha – a hit from the 1938 show BaBes In Arms, a production which also gave us ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’ and ‘Where Or When’. Now another number from South Pacific, and a title which might sum up tonight, Some Enchanted Evening. Finally, taking us to the interval, a medley of three numbers from An American In Paris By George Gershwin, though ‘Love Is Here To Stay’ originally hailed from The Goldwyn Follies, ‘EmbraceaBle You’ from Girl Crazy and ‘Nice Work If You Can Get’ It from A Damsel In Distress, thus demonstrating that recycling is nothing new. We open part two of tonight’s concert with the intoxicating Carousel Waltz from Carousel, by – who else? – Richard Rodgers. It’s followed By If I Loved You from the same show, a number which goes from introspection to celeBration in three minutes of musical joy. Goodnight, My Someone comes from the pen of Meredith Willson and the show The Music Man. It’s one we tend to think of involving rambunctious Brass Bands, But here’s a quieter interlude, a classically flavoured lullaBy of charming innocence. Cole Porter takes us into the sophistication of High Society, and a wonderfully refined portrait of True Love amongst the riches and glitter, the definitive take on which surely remains the duet Between Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly in the 1956 Hollywood film adaptation. Now Back to Sondheim, this time just penning the words, But to accompany the still astounding music of Leonard Bernstein for two numbers from West Side Story – and another Shakespeare connection, the show Being Romeo and Juliet in 1950s New York. One Hand, One Heart and A Boy Like That dazzle with their artistry while capturing the intensity and passion of young love. [image with caption: Richard Beymer as Tony and Natalie Wood as Maria in the 1962 film of West Side Story] Composer and lyricist Jerry Herman remains Best known for Hello, Dolly!, his 1974 Broadway show, Mack & MaBel, taking 21 years to earn a British production. Perhaps it was the niche suBject matter, the tempestuous relationship Between real life silent movie stars Mack Sennett and MaBel Normand. Whatever the reason for the show’s low profile, it has a fine score, including the heart-Breaking I Won’t Send Roses and valedictory Time Heals. Gershwin again for our penultimate number, this time with his Brother, Ira, for ’S Wonderful from Strike Up The Band, our earliest show tonight, dating from 1927. It’s a direct, heartfelt statement of simply how wonderful it is to Be loved – alBeit By the right person. And finally, Back to Bernstein, this time with lyrics By Betty Comden & Adolph Green, and the classic, keeping it together, wrong time, wrong place, saying goodBye song – Some Other Time. It’s a showstopper for the full ensemble, and there’ll not Be a dry eye in the house, guaranteed. And with that – well, the encores are sure to have something to mend our Broken hearts again, But that would Be telling! Programme notes By Gary Dalkin © 2020 .

  • Cole Porter: the Social Significance of Selected Love Lyrics of the 1930S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository Cole Porter: the social significance of selected love lyrics of the 1930s by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject of ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR IA RABINOWITZ November 2010 DECLARATION i SUMMARY This dissertation examines selected love lyrics composed during the 1930s by Cole Porter, whose witty and urbane music epitomized the Golden era of American light music. These lyrics present an interesting paradox – a man who longed for his music to be accepted by the American public, yet remained indifferent to the social mores of the time. Porter offered trenchant social commentary aimed at a society restricted by social taboos and cultural conventions. The argument develops systematically through a chronological and contextual study of the influences of people and events on a man and his music. The prosodic intonation and imagistic texture of the lyrics demonstrate an intimate correlation between personality and composition which, in turn, is supported by the biographical content. KEY WORDS: Broadway, Cole Porter, early Hollywood musicals, gays and musicals, innuendo, musical comedy, social taboos, song lyrics, Tin Pan Alley, 1930 film censorship ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Professor Ivan Rabinowitz, my supervisor, who has been both my mentor and an unfailing source of encouragement; Dawie Malan who was so patient in sourcing material from libraries around the world with remarkable fortitude and good humour; Dr Robin Lee who suggested the title of my dissertation; Dr Elspa Hovgaard who provided academic and helpful comment; my husband, Henry Holloway, a musicologist of world renown, who had to share me with another man for three years; and the man himself, Cole Porter, whose lyrics have thrilled, and will continue to thrill, music lovers with their sophistication and wit.

  • Jo April 2019.PPP
    An alphabetical listing of her studio recordings, including recording dates, matrix numbers and, when known, dates first issued. Compiled by Jim Marshall, and updated April 2019 I first produced a Jo Stafford discography ‘way back in 1995, encouraged by the late Tom Colborn who probably knew more about Jo’s career than the lady herself. Tom had already done much of the groundwork and, knowing that I’d acquired a computer - an early Amstrad - suggested that I take over the task. I was well into my research when the indispensable "In Tune" magazine started publishing its own in-depth listing of Jo’s huge catalogue of recordings. The work put into that by Brian Henson, Colin Morgan, Robert W. Rice and others was an immeasurable help. My thanks also go to Ken Seavor, John Ridgeway, Lucas Tuinstra, Jeff Lasbury and Ray Purslow plus, of course Jo Stafford and Paul Weston , all of whom contributed to Tom’s original research. More recently I’ve had important help from Michel Ruppli, Tim Weston, Robert Rice, Richard Weize and Adam Daff resulting in what I like to think is an almost “complete" alphabetical listing of Jo’s commercial recordings, including her work with the Pied Pipers and her alter egos, Cinderella G. Stump and Darlene Edwards, not forgetting Jonathan! (Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone!) Apart from a handful of never-ever issued Capitol and Columbia tracks, almost all Jo’s studio recordings seem to have been reissued on CD and are probably still in print. In fact, the seemingly relentless reissue of Stafford CDs, mainly in the UK, is proof, if proof was needed, of the lady’s long-lasting popularity.

  • Hart, Lorenz (1895-1943) Lorenz Hart (Standing, by Raymond-Jean Frontain Right) with Richard Rodgers in 1936
    Hart, Lorenz (1895-1943) Lorenz Hart (standing, by Raymond-Jean Frontain right) with Richard Rodgers in 1936. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Division. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Barely five feet tall, balding early, and possessing a disproportionately large head, Larry Hart was the first to disparage his own attractiveness. His jokes, however, masked a deeply-rooted inability to accept the possibility of romantic happiness or sexual gratification. Hart impulsively proposed marriage to several women friends, none of whom thought his offer serious. And when he allowed himself to act upon his desire for other men, he seems to have had difficulty performing sexually. (Biographer Frederick Nolan quotes one unidentified male partner's shock at discovering Hart cowering in the bedroom closet after sex, suggesting that the songwriter was unable actively to pursue homosexual pleasure without being overcome by guilt.) The result of such emotional imbroglio is that, despite having written lyrics as witty as any sung on the Broadway stage before or since, Hart is best remembered for his songs of unfulfilled desire and failed romance. Born Lorenz Milton Hart on May 2, 1895, to an immigrant Jewish family, Hart learned from his entrepreneur father that self-assertion allows survival. Never without a business venture, many of which were dishonest, Hart's father provided Larry with a lasting model for the cycles of impulsive free-spending and resulting impecuniosity that characterized Hart's own life. Hart entertained both friends and strangers lavishly, often living far beyond his means, but with a (sometimes unfounded) optimism that something would turn up.

  • South Pacific
    THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.
