The American Song Book by Philip Furia,Laurie Patterson Pdf
The American Song Book, Volume I: The Tin Pan Alley Era is the first in a projected five-volume series of books that will reprint original sheet music, including covers, of songs that constitute the enduring standards of Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, the Gershwins, and other lyricists and composers of what has been called the "Golden Age" of American popular music. These songs have done what popular songs are not supposed to do--stayed popular ... As such, these songs constitute the closest thing America has to a repertory of enduring classical music. In addition to reprinting the sheet music for these classic songs, authors Philip Furia and Laurie Patterson place these songs in historical context with essays about the sheet-music publishing industry known as Tin Pan Alley, the emergence of American musical comedy on Broadway, and the 'talkie' revolution that made possible the Hollywood musical. The authors also provide biographical sketches of songwriters, performers, and impresarios such as Florenz Ziegfeld. In addition, they analyze the lyrical and musical artistry of each song and relate anecdotes, sometimes amusing, sometimes poignant, about how the songs were created. The American Songbook is a book that can be read for enjoyment on its own or be propped on the piano to be played and sung"--Back cover.

Tin Pan Alley by Ken Bloom Pdf
Can you name that tune? Now you can with Tin Pan Alley, the ultimate source of information on hundreds of thousands of the most popular -- and even obscure -- American songs of the twentieth century. Telling the history and dreams of our nation through its music, Tin Pan Alley's show-stopping delivery of over 200,000 songs spotlights: heart wrenching ballads from the turn of the century, beloved and timeless Broadway songs, torch songs from sizzling nightclub acts, a number of "talkies" and "hum-alongs" from radio and tv, and much more. Tin Pan Alley's broad repertoire of songs also includes: -- the toe-tapping jazz of St. Louis and New Orleans -- the rhythmic cowboy influences of the West -- Chicago's brassy, "big city" sound -- African-influenced rhythms of the Old South. Ken Bloom (author of Hollywood Song: The Complete Film and Musical Companion which was selected by RASD/ALA as an Outstanding Reference Source, 1996) provides the reader -- and listener -- with complete songographies of over 200 leading twentieth-century American composers and lyricists. In three volumes, each entry alphabetically lists the songwriter's contribution in chronological order and includes whether the songs were written as pop songs or for Hollywood, Broadway, or nightclubs. Also included are a complete alphabetical listing of all songs, as well as an index of each songwriter's name. From the most acclaimed songwriters -- Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Burt Bacharach, and the Gershwins -- to the less prominent -- J. Fred Coots, Herman Hupfeld, Mack Gordon, and Harry Revel -- Tin Pan Alley is the perfect gift and resource for any aficionado of American music, now and then.

These songs have done what popular songs are not supposed to do-stayed popular. They have been reinterpreted year after year, generation after generation, by jazz artists such as Charlie Parker and Art Tatum, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. In the 1950s, Frank Sinatra began recording albums of these standards and was soon followed by such singers as Tony Bennet, Doris Day, Willie Nelson, and Linda Ronstadt. In more recent years, these songs have been reinterpreted by Rod Stewart, Harry Connick, Jr., Carly Simon, Lady GaGa, K.D. Laing, Paul McCartney, and, most recently, Bob Dylan. As such, these songs constitute the closest thing America has to a repertory of enduring classical music.

God Bless America: Tin Pan Alley Goes to War by Kathleen E.R. Smith Pdf
"Neither group, however, could foresee to what extent the war effort would be defined by advertisers and merchandisers. One advertiser described morale as "a lot of little things," and those little things included beer, chewing gum, tobacco, breakfast cereal - virtually every product on the American market. Selling merchandise was always the first priority of Tin Pan Alley, and the OWI never swayed them from this course."--BOOK JACKET.

Tin Pan Alley and the Philippines by Thomas P. Walsh Pdf
In this innovative resource, Thomas P. Walsh has compiled a unique collection of some 1,400 published and unpublished American musical compositions related to the Philippines during the American colonial era from 1898 to 1946. For the guide, Walsh surveyed a wide array of sources: published songs listed in WorldCat, online catalogs of sheet music collections of university libraries and major public and private research libraries, bibliographic compilations of popular music, periodical literature on music and popular culture, published collections of "soldier songs," and sheet music listed for sale on commercial auction websites. The guide also identifies from song registrations in the U.S. Copyright Office's Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) forty-eight years of musical compositions relating to the Philippines. By systematically going through the CCE, year by year, Walsh discovered hundreds of unpublished songs written by average Americans expressing their varied views about historical events and personal experiences in America's faraway Southeast Asian colony. Although most of the chronologically listed songs will be new to scholars and students, songs like "Ma Little Cebu Maid," "My Own Manila Sue," "My Fillipino Belle," "Down on the Philippine Isles," "Beside the Pasig River," "My Philippino Pearl," and "I Want a Filipino Man" were all published and widely promoted by Tin Pan Alley, as well as performed on stage, and listened to on records and piano rolls across America. The lyrics often illustrate popular American attitudes, from shrilly patriotic numbers about the Battle of Manila Bay and the later Fall of Bataan and Corregidor to wistful, romantic, and even charming reminiscences of happy days spent in "old" Manila to racially charged pieces rife with deprecating stereotypes of Filipinos. The book reprints a number of hard-to-find song lyrics, making them available to readers for the first time in more than a century. It also provides copyright registration numbers and dates of registration for many published and unpublished songs. Finally, more than 700 notes on particular songs and numerous links provide direct access to bibliographic records or digital copies of sheet music in libraries and collections. Exhaustive in scope, Tin Pan Alley and the Philippines is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of American history, Pacific studies, popular culture, and ethnomusicology.

A beautifully composed journey through music history! Music history is a required course for all music students.

This leads many to think that the topic is boring, but bestselling author Michael Miller proves that isn’t so. This guide makes music history interesting and fun, for both music students and older music lovers. • Covers more than Western “classical” music—also includes non-Western music and uniquely American forms such as jazz • More than just names and dates—puts musical developments in context with key historical events

That's Entertainment by Tighe E. Zimmers Pdf
Arthur Schwartz (1900-1984), a premier composer of American Popular Song during the mid-20th century, has been overlooked by historians. This first full-length biography covers his work on Broadway and in Hollywood, where he was known as the "master of the intimate revue" for his songs in the 1930s with Howard Dietz. Schwartz wrote music for films in the 1940s--with Academy Award nominations for They're Either Too Young or Too Old and A Gal in Calico--produced two popular movie musicals--Cover Girl and Night and Day--and was among the first songwriters to work in the new medium of television. The author describes his creative process and includes behind-the-scenes stories of each of his major musicals.
