    Extractions: In a period in which national American music was developing with composers of the calibre of Aaron Copland and others trained in Europe, George Gershwin, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, went some way towards bridging the wide gap between Tin Pan Alley and serious music. He won success as a composer of light music, of songs and musicals, but in a relatively small number of compositions made forays into a new form of classical repertoire. Stage Works Gershwin has won serious attention with his opera Porgy and Bess, a drama of Black America, set at first in Catfish Row, Charleston, South Carolina. There is an effective instrumental suite, Catfish Row, derived from the opera, while the song Summertime has proved particularly attractive and memorable. Orchestral Music Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, written in 1924 for Paul Whiteman and his jazz band, marries jazz with something of the classical form, an avenue further explored in Gershwin's Piano Concerto of the following year. The tone poem An American in Paris again offers a synthesis between apparently divergent forms of music. Recommended Recording Piano Concerto / An American in Paris / Rhapsody in Blue

    Extractions: Country: USA Detailed Information about Introduction (born Brooklyn, 26 September 1898; died Hollywood, 11 July 1937). Essentially self-taught, he was first a song plugger in Tin Pan Alley and an accompanist. In his teens he began to compose popular songs and produced a succession of musicals from 1919 to 1933 ( Lady, be Good! Oh, Kay! Strike up the Band Funny Face Girl Crazy , 1930); the lyrics were generally by his brother Ira (1896 1983). In 1924 he became famous: he wrote Rhapsody in Blue as a concerto for piano and Paul Whiteman's jazz band. Its success led him to devote increasing energy to 'serious' composition. His more ambitious works include the Piano Concerto in F (1925) and the tone poem An American in Paris (1928). But he contiuned composing for the musical theatre, and some of his most successful musicals ( Strike up the Band Girl Crazy Of Thee I Sing ) date from this period. In 1934-5 he wrote his 'American folk opera' Porgy and Bess , which draws on African-American idioms; given on Broadway, it was only a limited success. Gershwin went to Hollywood in 1936 and wrote songs for films. He was a sensitive songwriter of great melodic gifts and did much to create syntheses between jazz and classical traditions in his concert music and black folk music and opera in

    Extractions: Sein erster Song "When You Want 'Em You Can't Get 'Em" wird veröffentlicht. Obwohl der Song erfolglos bleibt, werden einige Broadway-Komponisten auf Gershwin aufmerksam und verwenden in den kommenden Jahren mehrere seiner Songs in ihren Stücken. Gershwin nimmt in diesen Jahren weiterhin Unterricht in Klavier und Harmonielehre. Uraufführung des von Paul Whiteman (1890-1969) angeregten Klavierkonzerts mit Jazzorchester "Rhapsody in Blue" in der Carnegie Hall in New York. Gershwin verbindet europäische Kunstmusik mit Elementen des Jazz und wird somit zum Mitbegründer des "symphonic jazz". Vitaler Rhythmus und eingängige Liedmelodien sind Grundelemente seines Schaffens. Mit dem Musical "Lady, Be Good!" gelingt Gershwin sein erster großer Broadway-Erfolg. Das Musical enthält u.a. die Stücke "Fascinating Rhythm" und "Oh, Lady, Be Good!". Wie in diesem Fall, arbeitet er auch später viel mit seinem Bruder Ira Gershwin (1896-1983) als Texter zusammen. Sie werden in den nächsten Jahren zu einem der erfolgreichsten "Song-Writer-Teams" des Broadway.

    Extractions: G eorge Gershwin was born in Brooklyn in 1898, the second of four children from a close-knit immigrant family. He began his musical career as a song-plugger on Tin Pan Alley , but was soon writing his own pieces. Gershwin's first published song, "When You Want ‘Em, You Can't Get ‘Em," demonstrated innovative new techniques, but only earned him five dollars. Soon after, however, he met a young lyricist named Irving Ceaser. Together they composed a number of songs including "Swanee," which sold more than a million copies. In the same year as "Swanee," Gershwin collaborated with Arthur L. Jackson and Buddy De Sylva on his first complete Broadway musical, "La, La Lucille". Over the course of the next four years, Gershwin wrote forty-five songs; among them were "Somebody Loves Me" and "Stairway to Paradise," as well as a twenty-five-minute opera, "Blue Monday." Composed in five days, the piece contained many musical clichés, but it also offered hints of developments to come. In 1924, George collaborated with his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin, on a musical comedy "Lady Be Good". It included such standards as "Fascinating Rhythm" and "The Man I Love." It was the beginning of a partnership that would continue for the rest of the composer's life. Together they wrote many more successful musicals including "Oh Kay!" and "Funny Face", staring Fred Astaire and his sister Adele. While continuing to compose popular music for the stage, Gershwin began to lead a double life, trying to make his mark as a serious composer.
