Product Description
Morton Gould (1913–1996) was a dominant force in American music throughout most of the 20th century. A child prodigy whose first composition was “Just Six” (his age at the time), he was still composing in the 1990s, including several pieces for President Clinton to play on his saxophone. This versatile composer, conductor, arranger, and pianist worked in vaudeville and on radio, from Tin Pan Alley to Broadway, all the while churning out jingles, symphonies, and everything in between. Gould was phenomenally talented; he worked tirelessly to bring great music to wide audiences, which he did with more than 100 best-selling records. The very excess of his gifts, however, may have been the reason that he felt his life to be a failure. He remained subject to profound depressions, which he managed to conceal from the many colleagues who found him always generous and thoughtful. His marriages, like his relationship with his domineering father, were ties of love and hate t!hat caused years of emotional pain. Peter Goodman began working with Gould on Morton Gould: American Salute more than a year before Gould’s death. He spent many hours interviewing Gould as well as his family, friends, and colleagues. Upon Gould’s death, his family allowed Goodman access to his files, diaries, records, and tapes. The result is a full, detailed, and well-rounded story. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Morton Gould/American Saluteby Peter W. Goodman
"Morton Gould/American Salute," by Peter W. Goodman, should appeal to anybody with even a passing interest in modern American music.Goodman, who had extensive access not only to the subject himself, but to the efforts of previous, would-be biographers, breezily moves the story of Gould's life along.The central theme of the book is the composer's unfulfilled, life-long yearning for acceptance in his field.At every turn, Goodman explains, from his early success in radio, to his widespread play by "secondary" orchestras, Gould snatched despair from the jaws of professional satisfaction.Gould's continuous battle with depression weaves through the narrative.

The author goes to great lenghts to vividly protray on the written page what, one imagines, really must be heard to be fully appreciated in Gould's work:

"'Dance Variations' is in four movements, mostof which fly by at breakneck speed.Gould's harmoniclanguage and organization are tonal and conventional,yet the music is passionate and unsettling. . . . [I]ts'Can-Can' is pounding and raucous.And the concluding'Tarantalla' is frighteningly angry.Far from beinga simple-minded crowd-pleaser, 'Dance Variations' is a score of depth and complexity, the work of a mindthat is hiding in plain sight."(P. 211.)

Goodman also delves into Gould's many and varied sexual conquests.Unlike many of his peers (Copland and Bernstein, among others), Gould was, most decidedly, heterosexual.The detailed dissection of his two marriages (curiously, to two women with the same name (Shirley)), is a vital part of Gould's life story.

Perhaps the best compliment for this book is that the reader is left with the strong urge to round out his or her personal musical collection with anything Gould!It is highly recommended. ... Read more
