Book Synopsis Leonard Bernstein and Washington, DC by : Daniel Abraham
Download or read book Leonard Bernstein and Washington, DC written by Daniel Abraham and published by Eastman Studies in Music. This book was released on 2020 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composer, conductor, activist, and icon of twentieth-century America, Leonard Bernstein (1918-90) had a rich association with Washington, DC. Although he never lived there, the U.S. capital was the site of some of the most important moments in his life and work, as he engaged with the nation's struggles and triumphs. By examining Bernstein through the lens of DC, this book offers new insights into his life and music from the 1940s through the 1980s, including his role in building DC's artistic landscape, his political-diplomatic aims, his works that received premieres and other early performances in DC, and his relationships with the nation's liberal and conservative political elites. The collection also contributes new perspectives on twentieth-century American history, government, and culture, helping to elucidate the political function of music in American democracy. The essays in Leonard Bernstein and Washington, DC, all newly written by leading authorities, situate this important American cultural figure in the seat of United States government. The result is a fresh new angle on Leonard Bernstein, American politics, and American culture in the second half of the twentieth century. Daniel Abraham is Professor of Music at American University, Alicia Kopfstein-Penk is Adjunct Professorial Lecturer at American University, and Andrew H. Weaver is Professor of Musicology at The Catholic University of America.

Download or read book A Hymn to Him written by Alan Jay Lerner and published by Amadeus Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Lerner's lyrics includes not only the famous Lerner-Louwe musicals such as Brigadoon, Camelot, Paint Your Wagon, Gigi and My Fair Lady, but also the less familiar works, from Lerner's 1943 debut What's Up? to My Man Godfrey which he left half-finished at his death. In his introduction, Benny Green shows how throughout his career, both during his successful partnership with Fritz Louwe and the less satisfactory collaborations with Leonard Bernstein and Andre Previn, Lerner showed total mastery of the art of lyric writing. In his preamble to each show, Green considers the background of the musicals and the problems faced by the writers, including the unconventional ingredients of My Fair Lady and the costing of Gigi.

Download or read book Alan Jay Lerner written by Dominic McHugh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man behind "I Could Have Danced all Night" and "Almost Like Being in Love", lyricist Alan Jay Lerner (1918-1986) is widely regarded as one of the most important figures of the American musical stage. In penning the lyrics to some of the most well-known and beloved Broadway shows, including Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady, and Camelot, Lerner worked and corresponded with some of the greatest luminaries of popular entertainment over a career which spanned four decades, from performers like Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews to composers like André Previn, Leonard Bernstein, Charles Strouse, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and especially Frederick Loewe. In this rich collection of correspondence, most of it published for the first time, author Dominic McHugh sheds new light on Lerner's working relationships with these legendary figures. McHugh's extensive commentary reveals Lerner's turbulent partnerships with Loewe and Lane, his affection for Harrison, and his reverence for Burton. Particular emphasis is placed on Lerner's aborted projects with composers like Richard Rodgers and Arthur Schwartz. Especially valuable is the correspondence from his final years, in which he worked on a movie version of The Merry Widow, a BBC TV series about musicals, and a musical version of My Man Godfrey, none of which came to fruition. The collection ends with a poignant final exchange between Lerner and Andrew Lloyd Webber, with whom he was to have written The Phantom of the Opera. Overall, this important and lively book reveals the highs and lows of the career of one of America's wittiest and most romantic lyricists.
