Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive collection of the letters of one of the most successful American songwriters of the twentieth century From Anything Goes to Kiss Me, Kate, Cole Porter left a lasting legacy of iconic songs including "You're the Top," "Love For Sale," and "Night and Day." Yet, alongside his professional success, Porter led an eclectic personal life which featured exuberant parties, scandalous affairs, and chronic health problems. This extensive collection of letters (most of which are published here for the first time) dates from the first decade of the twentieth century to the early 1960s and features correspondence with stars such as Irving Berlin, Ethel Merman, and Orson Welles, as well as his friends and lovers. Cliff Eisen and Dominic McHugh complement these letters with lively commentaries that draw together the loose threads of Porter’s life and highlight the distinctions between Porter’s public and private existence. This book reveals surprising insights into his attitudes toward Hollywood and Broadway, and toward money, love, and dazzling success.

Book excerpt: The merry and sad nights and days of the greatest lyricist-composer of them all suffuse the pages of this adoring tribute to Cole Porter. The lyrics of nearly two hundred songs, among them such favorites as "Love for Sale," "I love Paris," and "Begin the Beguine," featured alongside music sheets, private letters, examples of works in progress in Cole's own hand, and hundreds of pictures from the private albums of Linda and Cole Porter, combine in a marvelous tapestry to capture Cole's irrepressible spirit. A graceful and revealing biographical essay by the late and incomparable Brendan Gill sets the tone for a book as stylish, as saucy, as self-confident, and as beguiling as the era it recreates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cole Porter possessed to a singular degree the art of expressing depth through apparent frivolity. The effervescent wit and technical bravura of his songs are matched by their unguarded revelations of feeling. In the words of editor Robert Kimball, “Porter wrote tellingly of the pain and evanescence of emotional relationships. He gently mocked propriety and said that few things were simple or lasting or free from ambiguity.” Of the masters of twentieth-century American songwriting, Porter was one of the few who wrote both music and lyrics, and, even in the absence of his melodies, his words distill an unmistakable mixture of poignancy and wit that marks him as a genius of light verse. Selected from over eight hundred songs, here are Porter’s finest flights of invention, lyrics that are an indelible part of 20th-century culture: “Let’s Do It,” “Love for Sale,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Anything Goes,” “In the Still of the Night,” “I Concentrate on You,” and dozens more. About the American Poets Project Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today’s most discerning poets and critics.

Book excerpt: Das Hollywoodmusical "Singin' in the Rain", das Anfang der 1950er-Jahre von Betty Comden, Adolph Green und Roger Edens im Auftrag von Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) konzipiert und 1952 unter der Regie von Stanley Donen und Gene Kelly, mit Kelly in der Hauptrolle, produziert wurde, gilt heute als Klassiker, ja als einer der künstlerisch und kommerziell erfolgreichsten und paradigmatischsten Vertreter seines Genres. Das Musical basiert auf musikalischem Material, das zum großen Teil - genauso wie der durchschlagende Titelsong - bereits eine Vorgeschichte sowohl im Film als auch in anderen medialen Formen der populären Kultur besaß. In der Bühnenversion, welche 1983 am Londoner West End ihre Erstproduktion hatte, erlebt "Singin' in the Rain" eine bis heute rege Aufführungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte. Das intermediale Miteinander von Songs, Kinofilm und Bühnenwerk macht "Singin' in the Rain" mit seinen verschiedenen Werkkomplexen zu einem Schlüsselthema für eine interdisziplinäre Betrachtung des Musicals der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im vorliegenden Sammelband sollen wesentliche, bislang in der Literatur weitgehend vernachlassigte Aspekte zur Sprache kommen, wobei freilich ein moglichst breites Spektrum an Fragestellungen und an behandelten Werken intendiert ist. Gerade die engen Beziehungen zwischen Quartett und Quintett werden mehrfach - und in erstaunlicher Konsistenz der Ergebnisse - thematisiert. Somit will vorliegendes Buch nicht allein neue Einblicke und Perspektiven vermitteln, sondern auch nachdrucklich zu weiterer Beschaftigung mit diesen wahrhaften Meisterwerken - aber auch mit ihrer Gattung im allgemeinen - anregen. "Es gibt gut gemachte Bucher und es gibt notwendige Bucher. In der Musikwissenschaft hat man nicht allzu oft den Glucksfall, dass beides zusammenfallt. Mozarts Streichquintette stehen im Schatten anderer Gattungen, vor allem der Streichquartette. Hier galt es schon lange, eine Lucke zu schliessen. Dankenswerterweise geschieht dies nun nicht etwa in Art eines besseren Konzertfuhrers, der die sechs Werke der Reihe nach vorstellt, sondern in einer Publikation, die die verschiedensten Aspekte, von der Satztechnik bis zur Werkuberlieferung, vom Stellenwert innerhalb von Mozarts Schaffen bis zum musikhistorischen Umfeld in sieben Aufsatzen zur Sprache bringt." Mozart-Jahrbuch "...auf diesem Weg sind den Artikeln dieses rundum attraktiven Bandes viele Leser zu wunschen." Die Musikforschung "...der greife zu dieser konzentrierten, fundierten und gleichermassen gut geschriebenen Aufsatzsammlung. Es lohnt sich." Osterreichische Musikzeitschrift "Der Band ist gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht konkurrenzlos: In insgesamt sieben Aufsatzen bietet er nicht nur eine langst uberfallige, wissenschaftlich kompetente Auseinandersetzung mit diesen zentralen Kammermusik-Werken Mozarts, sondern auch den ersten umfassenden Versuch, sie in einen eigenen, spezifischen Gattungskontext einzuordnen."

Book excerpt: In 1933 Irving Berlin wrote to composer-lyricist Cole Porter, ”I am mad about Night and Day.” Millions of others throughout the world have been ”mad about” that Porter gem, as well as dozens of others, including, to name just a few, Begin the Beguine, From This Moment On, It's De-Lovely, Just One of Those Things, Love for Sale, and My Heart Belongs to Daddy. Cole Porter (1891-1964) set new standards for popular song-writing, and his lyrics and melodies are as bright and sophisticated today as when they first dazzled audiences decades ago. Porter's own life matched that of his songs for urbanity, wit, and elegance, and in New York, Hollywood, and on the Continent he was an arbiter of taste and fashion and part of the glamorous international set of the Twenties and Thirties. He numbered among his friends Cary Grant, Noel Coward, Fred Astaire, Ethel Merman, Elsa Maxwell, Fanny Brice, and Monty Woolley, as well as many other stars of stage, screen, or society. Cole Porter: A Biography is a delightfully written and meticulously researched book that takes us from the composer's Indiana childhood to his celebrity days, discussing with exceptional honesty his family and friends, his wife and his many lovers, and above all, his music. Charles Schwartz's account of Cole Porter is the most revealing, comprehensive, and objective biography to date of an extraordinarily talented and fascinating man.
