Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Write a Popular Song Choice of good singable words in the writing of lyrics is also vital. Words with harsh consonants, many syllabled words, words or phrases that do not seem to speak or sing smoothly, should be studiously discarded. Tell your tale tersely, make it as strong as possible, and let it almost sing itself as you recite it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Adair Fitz-Gerald is an encyclopedia of song and lyric history and lore for music from all over the world. In an attempt to "produce an entertaining, amusing, and instructive work that shall appeal to the hearts and sympathies of all true lovers of songs with music," Fitz-Gerald presents a book full of useful and interesting information for musicians, historians, and individuals intrigued by the stories behind popular music. Each story, without exception, is interesting, surprising, and tells a completely unique tale of the inspiration, process, and journey of some of our most beloved songs. Fitz-Gerald researched all of the songs in this text at great length, and put years of work into the writing of this book. "This work is the practical proof of some fifteen years' agreeable labour in the fields of lyric literature and song lore.," he notes. Very thorough in his research, Fitz-Gerald goes on to explain, "These histories, as far as possible accurate, of all the world's most famous and popular songs and ballads, have been gathered from all sorts of available sources, books, magazines, and newspapers, and living representatives and friends of deceased writers." The book includes songs from all over the globe including songs from America, such as "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Yankee Doodle"; Germany, such as "Die Waht Am Rhein and "Die Schwertlied"; and France, such as "Les Constantes Amours D'Alix Et D'Alexis" and "La Marseillaise." This book also contains several illustrations and anecdotale accounts to further the exploration of the songs and the lore behind them. Clearly a labor of passion and love, Stories of Famous Songs is a wonderful examination of famous music pieces and their lyrics. With detailed histories and stories of the writers, composers, and performers, this text reads like a turn-of-the-century "behind the scenes" look at some of time's most beloved tunes. This is an excellent read for the music lover and historian alike, sure to incite passion and curiosity in any reader.

Readers who revel in pop cultural history will savor each chapter as it plunges deeply into key events—in music, society, and the world—from each era of the past 125 years. Following in the wake of the first two volumes of his original Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings, this follow-up work covers not only more beloved classic performances in pop music history, but many lesser -known but exceptional recordings that—in the modern digital world of “long tail” listening, re-mastered recordings, and “lost but found” possibilities—Sullivan mines from modern recording history. The Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings, Volumes 3 and 4 lets the readers discover, and, through their playlist services, from such as iTunes toand Spotify, build a truly deepcomprehensive catalog of classic performances that deserve to be a part of every passionate music lover’s life. Sullivan organizes songs in chronological order, starting in 1890 and continuing all the way throughto the present to include modern gems from June 2016. In each chapter, Sullivanhe immerses readers, era by era, in the popular music recordings of the time, noting key events that occurred at the time to painting a comprehensive picture in music history of each periodfor each song. Moreover, Sullivan includes for context bulleted lists noting key events that occurred during the song’s recording

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic American Popular Song: The Second Half-Century, 1950-2000 addresses the question: What happened to American popular song after 1950? There are numerous books available on the so-called Golden Age of popular song, but none that follow the development of popular song styles in the second half of the 20th century. While 1950 is seen as the end of an era, the tap of popular song creation hardly ran dry after that date. Many of the classic songwriters continued to work through the following decades: Porter was active until 1958; Rodgers until the later 1970s; Arlen until 1976. Some of the greatest lyricists of the classic era continued to do outstanding and successful work: Johnny Mercer and Dorothy Fields, for example, continued to produce lyrics through the early '70s. These works could be explained as simply the Golden Age's last stand, a refusal of major figures to give in to a new reality. But then, how can we explain the outstanding careers of Frank Loesser, Cy Coleman, Jerry Herman, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, Fred Kander and John Ebb, Jule Styne, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, and several other major figures? Where did Stephen Sondheim come from? For anyone interested in the development of American popular song -- and its survival -- this book will make fascinating reading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Song-Writing: With a Collection of Such English Songs as Are Most Eminent for Poetical Merit, to Which Are Added, Some Original Pieces On conversing with a few of my friends who was lovers of poetry, I have frequently joined them in lamenting that the number of excellent songs which our language afforded, were so dispersed through a variety of authors, or overwhelmed in injudicious collections, that it was a most difficult matter to discover and enjoy the riches of this kind which we possessed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Famous Songs In dealing with the Irish and the Scottish sections I have striven to be just to each. When selected portions of the Stories were appearing in Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, I was assailed quite violently by certain Scottish gentlemen, who were highly indignant with me for various statements I made as to who wrote and who did not write particular songs that had generally been accepted as having been born in Scotland. But nobody has yet proved that abuse is either argument or logic, and as I have found no reason to alter the views I originally expressed, they remain exactly as I first wrote them down, except in one or two instances where I have been enabled to strengthen my convictions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Songs That the obtrusion on the public of this little Volume of songs will be deemed an act of temerity, I am pre pared to expe'ct and I am also prepared, if I am not much mistaken, to bear, with all patience and humility, the animadversions to which that temerity may subject me perfectly satisfied as I am that, in general, every justice will be done me, and that if my humble efforts at Song possess any merit, that merit will be readily acknowledged. If, on the contrary, they are found wanting, I shall, I trust, derive a lesson from the issue, which will be useful to me hereafter: thus I conceive that, in either event, I shall not be altogether a loser. It is customary, I believe, with aspirants in poetry to apologize for the intrusion of their lucubrations on the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Familiar Songs and Those Who Made Them: Three Hundred Standard Songs of the English-Speaking Race, Arranged With Piano Accompaniment, and Preceded by Sketches of the Writers and Histories of the Songs Very great songs - great in all respects - are comparatively few. Perhaps a continued and warmly-expressed interest in the makers of familiar songs equivalent to that which other artists enjoy - would render those who are will ing to make the songs of a nation quite as numerous as those who are anxious to make its laws. The revival of degenerate song begun by Burns was a new inspiration and although several Scottish ladies, immediately following him, kept themselves sedulously hidden from public view, while they produced some of the finest songs ever written, a deep personal interest became manifest toward the writers of lyric verse in Scotland. The result is, that no other people pos sesses such an array of poets whose rhyme can be echoed in written melody, and there is' more popular knowledge of Scotland's song-writers than of those of any other nation. In England little interest has been manifested in this portion of the tuneful guild, and still less has our own country troubled itself about its singing men and singing women. John Howard Payne's magnificent monument only testifies to consideration that came too late. But for him, and for others even more deserving, ostenta tious and costly monumental remembrance is not to be desired. Something with more of human sympathy in its expression should take its place.
