Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Lyrics IN our country to-day the lyric is the universal. Fashion. There is scarcely a novelist of repute, critic, college professor, dramatist, or journalist who has not turned out, even published, more or less creditable verse. Engineers and brokers, statesmen and clergymen, indulge in rondeaus and triolets, and college classes are put through the intricacies Of the sonnet. Professional poets are few, and usually pos sessed Of an income that comes in of itself. Among the magazines, however, there is a certain demand for fillers, which are rivals to tail-pieces in cover ing the whiteness of a blank page. It follows that many a verse owes its existence in print to its size rather than its quality, and its mediocrity inspires others to vie in meeting the demand. More than this, the practice of lyric making is one aspect of the universal desire for self-expression fostered by our present system of education.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Golden Treasury of American Songs and Lyrics Poets of America the names of over three hun dred native writers. American verse in the last half century has been extraordinarily prolific. It would seem that the time has come, in the course of our national literature, for proving all things and holding fast that which is good. The fact that the title of this compilation instantly calls to mind that of Mr. Palgrave's scholarly collee tion of English lyrics need not prove a disadvantage to the book if the purpose which led to the choice of name is understood. The verse of a single cen tury produced in a new country should not be expected to equal the poetic wealth of an old and intellectual nation. But if American poetry cannot hope to rival the poetry of the mother country, it may at least be compared with it; and the fact of such a comparative point of view will aid rather than hinder the student of our native poetry in estimating its value.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Meditative Lyrics AS indicated by the title, it is the purpose of this volume briefly to discuss American Lyrical Verse, with exclusive reference to its meditative quality as distinct frcim any other features it may present in the line of a more objective and secular type of poetry. Reference will be made to representative poets only - to those only whose work is specifically literary, and mainly to authors whose poetic product has already passed into literary history. No at tempt will be made fully to compass so wide and fruitful a field, but only to give a view suf ficiently comprehensive to meet the demands of intelligent readers, and stimulate their study along similar lines. Naturally adapted as a topic to the needs and tastes of the clergy and of those who are specially inclined or committed to the contemplative life, it is hoped that thetreatise, in its simple method, may commend itself to all those who are seeking 'in the poetry that they read the spontaneous and serious ut terances of the human heart.

Download or read book Reading Lyrics written by Robert Gottlieb and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2000-11-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive anthology bringing together more than one thousand of the best American and English song lyrics of the twentieth century; an extraordinary celebration of a unique art form and an indispensable reference work and history that celebrates one of the twentieth century’s most enduring and cherished legacies. Reading Lyrics begins with the first masters of the colloquial phrase, including George M. Cohan (“Give My Regards to Broadway”), P. G. Wodehouse (“Till the Clouds Roll By”), and Irving Berlin, whose versatility and career span the period from “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” to “Annie Get Your Gun” and beyond. The Broadway musical emerges as a distinct dramatic form in the 1920s and 1930s, its evolution propelled by a trio of lyricists—Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, and Lorenz Hart—whose explorations of the psychological and emotional nuances of falling in and out of love have lost none of their wit and sophistication. Their songs, including “Night and Day,” “The Man I Love,” and “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” have become standards performed and recorded by generation after generation of singers. The lure of Broadway and Hollywood and the performing genius of such artists as Al Jolson, Fred Astaire, Ethel Waters, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Ethel Merman inspired a remarkable array of talented writers, including Dorothy Fields (“A Fine Romance,” “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love”), Frank Loesser (“Guys and Dolls”), Oscar Hammerstein II (from the groundbreaking “Show Boat” of 1927 through his extraordinary collaboration with Richard Rodgers), Johnny Mercer, Yip Harburg, Andy Razaf, Noël Coward, and Stephen Sondheim. Reading Lyrics also celebrates the work of dozens of superb craftsmen whose songs remain known, but who today are themselves less known—writers like Haven Gillespie (whose “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” may be the most widely recorded song of its era); Herman Hupfeld (not only the composer/lyricist of “As Time Goes By” but also of “Are You Makin’ Any Money?” and “When Yuba Plays the Rumba on the Tuba”); the great light versifier Ogden Nash (“Speak Low,” “I’m a Stranger Here Myself,” and, yes, “The Sea-Gull and the Ea-Gull”); Don Raye (“Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Mister Five by Five,” and, of course, “Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet”); Bobby Troup (“Route 66”); Billy Strayhorn (not only for the omnipresent “Lush Life” but for “Something to Live For” and “A Lonely Coed”); Peggy Lee (not only a superb singer but also an original and appealing lyricist); and the unique Dave Frishberg (“I’m Hip,” “Peel Me a Grape,” “Van Lingo Mungo”). The lyricists are presented chronologically, each introduced by a succinct biography and the incisive commentary of Robert Gottlieb and Robert Kimball.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Games and Songs of American Children About the fifteenth century education came to establish between the different ranks of society intellectual differences which had previously been non-existent. Superior minds came to entertain for the old type of song a distaste which was enforced by the advent of printing; ballads in the ancient manner were composed only in rural districts, or left to the lips of the vulgar, on which they acquired a rustic accent. With game-songs the process has corresponded, save that owing to the absence of print such change was postponed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Year Book of Famous Lyrics: Selections From the British and American Poets, Arranged for Daily Reading or Memorising In several instances the editor of this book has omitted lines or stanzas when a distinct gain in unity would result, and in a few cases, too, extracts from long poems have been presented apart from their context; but in practically all such instances as the latter, a note has been made of the excision. A few of the lyrical divisions of Tennyson's ln Memoriam, also, have been printed as complete poems under individual titles. For titles to a number of poems the editor has been indebted to those suggested by other modern compilers, notably Mr. Palgrave.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American War Ballads and Lyrics, Vol. 1: A Collection of the Songs and Ballads of the Colonial Wars, the Revolution, the War of 1812-15, the War With Mexico, and the Civil War The complex nature of the considerations that must determine the choice of poems for inclusion is but one of several difficulties encountered in the execution of such a task as this. In any event, many things must be omitted which merit insertion, and the reader who misses a favorite piece is prompt to point to others which seem to him less worthy, and to ask why these were not made to give place to the one omitted. There are three answers to be made to the challenge of such a reader first, that his judgment in the matter may be wrong second, that the editor, being human, may have erred in his choice; and third, that in a collection intended to be broadly representative rather than complete, preference must sometimes be given to the less worthy piece which happens to reflect some phase of sentiment not otherwise presented, even at the cost of sacrificing the worthier one which illustrates aspects otherwise sufficiently Shown. So much by way of explanation, not of apology for if a book be in need of apology, no apology can be sufficient for it.
