Podcasts about Lorenz Hart

Somewhere along the line in planning my Pride 2025 episodes, I hit upon the idea of paying tribute to Gay Eccentrics. (Maybe because I am one of them myself?) There are many mad queer geniuses in the history of music, and I have chosen today to focus on three twentieth-century case studies. First, the husband and husband team of Norman Notley (1890 – 1980) and David Brynley (1902 – 1981), musical and artistic polymaths who settled in the small Dorset village of Corfe Castle. They were both members of the innocuously-named New English Singers, which was actually an early version of the high-caliber vocal chamber ensembles in such profusion today. In recent times their archives have been digitized and exhibited at the Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, which has led to their story going viral. In 1957 while living in the US, the pair made a recording of Elizabethan Songs that is a model of its kind and is featured on the episode. Next up us Gerald Hugh Tyrwhitt-Wilson (1883 – 1950), much better known as Lord Berners, the quintessential upper-class British eccentric who also happened to be the leading British avant-garde composer of his day (as well as a “notorious” homosexual!) I feature an excerpt from his single opera as well as a passel of songs from his small output. Finally, we cross the Atlantic to encounter the prescience, acerbic wit and borderline insanity of Ben Bagley (1933 – 1998), the producer of off-Broadway theatrical revues and a series of recordings featuring unknown material by the top Broadway composers of the day, including fellow gay eccentrics Cole Porter and Lorenz Hart. I may be a day late with this week's episode, but I'm definitely not a dollar short! This episode has something for everyone! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Songwriter Arthur Schwartz(born Nov 25, 1900) was trained as a lawyer, but encouraged by friends George Gershwin and Lorenz Hart, soon abandoned that career and became a successful popular songwriter. His tunes are featured in several Broadway shows, and many of his tunes are favorite vehicles for jazz musicians due to their interesting harmonic structure. His longtime lyricist, Howard Dietz, a collaborator with composer Jerome Kern, initially rebuffed Schwartz's entreaties to write with him, but by 1927 relented and their partnership produced many songs that are much loved contributions to the Great American Songbook. 

For part one of our Pal Joey deep dive, we look at the life of gay lyricist Lorenz Hart. We explore Hart's writings, philosophy, and history as a closeted artist living a painfully contradictory double life. We also discuss the benefits of irredeemable  characters in art, setting the stage for a closer look at how the 1940 musical Pal Joey—and the 1957 Sinatra-starring film adaptation—came to be.

The Boys Are Back In Town!  With Rodgers and Hart's effervescent 1938 musical, The Boys from Syracuse packing 'em in at the Upstairs at the Gatehouse Theatre in Highgate, Thos and Benjamin Levy continue their wonderful conversation about the role of the Musical Director and how to orchestrate a classic-era show. But with Benjamin's view that "Lorenz Hart is an utter genius", this episode is filled to the brim with an in-depth look at the score and full analysis of what makes the Hart lyrics and the musicality of Rodgers work so beautifully together to make a show where every song is a polished diamond!

Throughout songwriter Richard Rodgers' (born June 28, 1902) long career, with 43 Broadway shows and over 900 songs to his credit, he wrote primarily with only two lyricists, Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein. Much of his output with both men have become standards, but jazz musicians are particularly enamored with his earlier work, with Lorenz Hart. Some theorize that even though he was often at odds with Hart due to the latter's unreliable work ethic, the fact that Hart set lyrics to Rodger's music after it was composed allowed freer range to Rodger's imagination than the work he composed with Hammerstein, who insisted on writing the lyric beforehand and having Rodgers set it to music.

The only blue moon of 2023 appears later this month, so it's high time we dusted off our latest rendition of the world's best-loved anthem to this particular astronomical event.“Blue Moon” came into being around 1934 after famed composers Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart were brought from New York to Hollywood by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and commissioned to produce songs for a film called Hollywood Party, which was to star many of the studio's top artists.“One of our ideas,” Rodgers later recalled, “was to include a scene in which Jean Harlow is shown as an innocent young girl saying — or rather singing — her prayers.”But the Hollywood experience was a disaster for Rodgers and Hart, who hated the movie biz. And Hollywood didn't especially love them back, so the song was not recorded at that time. (And the movie was released, in fact, without Harlow.)Two years later, completely frustrated with film work, Rodgers and Hart were back in New York doing the work they were meant to do: Making magic on Broadway.But Who Wrote that Song?“Blue Moon” — the most famous song to arise during the songwriting team's dreadful Hollywood years — has lately taken a controversial turn: A few years ago an award-winning documentary filmmaker publicly claimed that Rodgers and Hart didn't even write the song.On the contrary, said Liz Roman Gallese, “Blue Moon” actually was composed in Troy, NY, on the east bank of the Hudson River by a 17-year-old son of Polish immigrants.“I know,” Gallese said in a New York Times article, “because I am his daughter, and because I have always known this story. It's been a part of my family for all of my growing-up years, the source of whispers about ‘that Blue Moon thing' among the adults.”Gallese says her father, Edward W. Roman, wrote the song in 1931 and later sold it for $900 in order to buy a car, or maybe he had “settled” with the rich and famous Rodgers and Hart for that amount. (If you'd like to read more about Gallese's curious contentions — it's quite a story! — click here to reach her website.)Monster HitWell, whoever wrote it, “Blue Moon” has had a remarkable run in popular culture, with many revivals over the decades.In 1949 alone, for instance, it was a hit for two separate performers, singer Mel Tormé and band leader Billy Eckstine. Five years later, "Blue Moon” was the first crossover in rock 'n' roll, when a young Elvis Presley released his recording, produced by Sam Phillips. It was to be included on Presley's debut album for RCA.Over the years, "Blue Moon" has been covered by a great many artists, from Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald to Sam Cooke and The Supremes, from Bobby Vinton and Cyndi Lauper to Bob Dylan and The Cowboy Junkies.Doo-wop DaveBaby boomers, of course, remember the doo-wop version in 1961 by The Marcels, with its famous introduction to the song ("bomp-baba-bomp" and "dip-da-dip-da-dip”). Incidentally, in Flood lore, we still remember how the late David Peyton surprised and tickled his band mates with his impromptu channeling of that old Marcels vibe during our 2006 appearance on Joe Dobbs' “Music from the Mountains” radio show. Click the button below to hear that moment:Our Take on the TuneLike many 1930s-'40s tunes in our repertoire, “Blue Moon” started out as an instrumental showcase for Joe's fiddling. But as soon as we fell under the spell of the marvellous Miss Michelle, “Blue Moon” was her song and we were just along for the ride.When Michelle moved away a few years ago to begin a new chapter with her new husband Rich Hoge, we thought “Blue Moon” might have gone with her. However, lately we've found the tune sits very well as a featured vocal by our bassist Randy Hamilton, with Charlie Bowen supporting with harmony and Danny Cox finding all kinds of interesting opportunities for guitar goodies in those cool old chords. Here's a take from a recent rehearsal at the Bowen house. This is a public episode.

David Pickard discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. David Pickard studied Music at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, before starting his career as Company Manager of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Following this, David worked at the Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park and was the Assistant Director for the Japan Festival (1991) before becoming Sir John Drummond's deputy at the European Arts Festival. In 1993 he was appointed Chief Executive of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment where he significantly increased the orchestra's artistic reputation and international profile, helping to establish the OAE as the pre-eminent period-instrument orchestra in the world. In 2001 he was made General Director of Glyndebourne Festival where during his tenure he created an extensive digital programme including online streaming, big-screen and cinema relays and broadened the company's audience base through specially priced performances for young people and a pioneering education programme. In November 2015, David took up the role of Director of the BBC Proms. Since then he has introduced a number of initiatives, all in support of the Proms' central mission: to bring ‘the best of classical music to the widest possible audience.' These have included an innovative series called ‘Proms at…' exploring music in new spaces, both in London and around the UK. He has introduced greater diversity among the composers, conductors and soloists showcased by the Proms - both in gender and ethnicity - and has also made youth music-making and youth audiences a major focus. He has expanded the range of genres explored in the festival to include gaming music, contemporary jazz, world music and, in 2018, a twenty minute animated light show projected onto the external and internal façades of the Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by a new work for orchestra and chorus by Anna Meredith.

(Sung with gusto and blatant misogynistic vibrato) OKLAHOMA!!!!! Mary and Steven are BACK! They pick up where they left off and critique their coverage of the classic musical in this week's Show Notes episode of From the Top! on Oklahoma! Steven takes a deeper look into Lorenz Hart and his sordid tale of why he left this show to set the stage and the birth of theatre's feel-good duo and still has some bones to pick with some updates this show makes. Mary needs to know how blatant misogynistic Americana still rings true today and then gives Steven a run for his money in this week's Quick Cast segment. Sit back, relax, and pretend you're enjoying a ride in a surrey with some fringe dangling around the top. Happy Listening!!! FOLLOW US!

Our story begins with the star of a new show who is unhappy with the song her upstart writers have given her to perform. In a panicky phone call, she persuades a more established composer to come up with something she thinks will be more worthy of her talents.The show, in fact, turns out to be a dog — vaudeville's “Betsy” has only 39 performances between December 1926 and January 1927 — but oh, that song! Irving Berlin's “Blue Skies” was an instant hit with the audience on the “Betsy” opening night. The song literally stopped the show. Twenty-four encores! During her final repetition, star Belle Baker actually forgot the lyrics, prompting a bit of Broadway lore when Berlin himself sang the words for her from his front-row seat. And Those Disdained Upstarts?As it happened, Berlin had written the new “Blue Skies” a few weeks earlier as a Christmas gift for his newborn daughter, Mary Ellin.Berlin agreed to let the composition be a last-minute addition to the show, even though he usually resented the interpolation of songs by other composers into the score of his shows, say biographers Philip Furia and Michael Lasser.“But,” the writers add, “he must have been delighted at the chance to work one of his songs into a score by the young songwriting team who were already being compared to Gilbert and Sullivan,” namely, a couple of newcomers named, ahem, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Big Time on the Big ScreenIf its reputation relied only on that failed 1927 Ziegfield musical, we probably wouldn't know “Blue Skies” nowadays.But the song's real fame came later that same year with “The Jazz Singer,” the first full-length motion picture to have sound; it starred Al Jolson singing nine songs, one of which was the brand new “Blue Skies.” And that was just the beginning of the song's celluloid celebrity.It later was featured in “Alexander's Ragtime Band” (1938), a biopic inspired by Irving Berlin, and the 1946 film “Blue Skies” starring Bing Crosby, then in the 1954 “White Christmas” with Crosby singing it with Danny Kaye. And of course, the song has jazz cred too. Ella Fitzgerald scatted a version for her eight-album “Song Book” series. Count Basie and Benny Goodman's recordings hit #8 and #9 respectively on the pop charts.The song has contributed to the country and western songbook too. It was a standard by 1939 when Moon Mullican recorded it. Willie Nelson's 1978 release was a #1 country music hit. The Star Trek ConnectionThe song even has gotten air time in outer space. It was featured prominently in the 2002 film “Star Trek: Nemesis,” as sung by Commander Data (Brent Spiner) during a wedding scene at the start of the story. It is sung again at the very end of the film by Data's "brother," the android B-4, during the final scene set in the 24th century, a time period not revisited by the Trek franchise for another 18 years, with the release of “Star Trek: Picard” in 2020. "Blue Skies" is featured in that series' premiere episode and again in the 10th episode.New Generations “Blue Skies” has clicked with generations of performers and audiences, from Freddy Cannon, Della Reese, Jim Reeves and Bobby Darin in the 1960s to Lyle Lovett, Dr. John and Eva Cassidy in the 1990s to Debby Boone and Rod Stewart in the 2000s.We'll Bring “Blue Skies” to Sal's TonightThe song will be on tap when the Family Flood returns to Sal's Italian Eatery & Speakeasy in Ashland, Ky., tonight. We're excited to be there, and, best of all, The Chick Singer is back! Yes, Floodster Emerita Michelle Hoge (whom the late Joe Dobbs christened "da chick singer" years ago) is coming in from Cincinnati just to sit in with her old band mates for the evening. It's going to be epic! We'll be playing from 6 to 9 p.m.By the way, if you've not yet had The Sal's Experience, this would be a great chance to enjoy this remarkable venue in downtown Ashland.

durée : 00:58:31 - Richard Rodgers, l'autre compositeur roi de Broadway (2/3) : De Lorenz Hart à Oscar Hammerstein - par : Laurent Valière - Après son expérience frustrante à Hollywood au début des années 30, Richard Rodgers enchaine succès et œuvres audacieuses, d'abord avec Pal Joey autour d'un anti-héros puis en créant avec son nouveau partenaire parolier Oscar Hammerstein Oklahoma, à l'origine de l'äge d'or de Broadway. - réalisé par : Céline Parfenoff

En este video quiero hablarles sobre la canción "It Never Entered My Mind" de Miles Davis. Esta canción es uno de los temas más emblemáticos del jazz y ha sido interpretada por muchos músicos a lo largo de los años. Miles Davis y Juliette Gréco tuvieron una relación romántica durante un corto período de tiempo en la década de 1950. Gréco era una cantante y actriz francesa que se había convertido en un ícono de la cultura bohemia de París en esa época. La pareja se conoció en París, donde Davis estaba tocando en clubes de jazz y Gréco estaba iniciando su carrera como cantante. La relación entre Davis y Gréco fue intensa y apasionada, y ambos se influenciaron mutuamente en sus respectivas carreras. Gréco introdujo a Davis a la escena artística y literaria de París, y Davis ayudó a Gréco a desarrollar su habilidad como intérprete de jazz. Juntos, Davis y Gréco asistieron a muchas fiestas y eventos culturales, y se relacionaron con algunos de los artistas y escritores más importantes de la época. Sin embargo, la relación también fue tormentosa debido a los estilos de vida diferentes de ambos y a los problemas de adicción de Davis. La pareja finalmente se separó en 1955, pero siguieron siendo amigos hasta el final de la vida de Davis. La canción fue compuesta por Richard Rodgers y Lorenz Hart en 1940, disculpen la errata un poco tramposa, pero fue Miles Davis quien la popularizó con su interpretación en el álbum "Workin'" en 1959. En esta grabación, Davis demuestra su increíble habilidad para fusionar el jazz con elementos del bebop y del cool jazz, creando un sonido único e innovador. La versión de Davis de "It Never Entered My Mind" es una de las más queridas por los aficionados al jazz y una verdadera muestra de su talento como músico y líder de banda. Ahora hablemos de Miles Davis, el hombre detrás de la trompeta. Miles Davis nació en Alton, Illinois en 1926 y comenzó su carrera como músico en la década de 1940 en Nueva York. Rápidamente se convirtió en uno de los líderes más importantes del jazz y tuvo un gran impacto en la evolución del género a lo largo de las décadas de 1950 y 1960. Uno de los aspectos más notables de la carrera de Davis fue su constante evolución y su disposición a experimentar con nuevos estilos y formas de tocar. Esto lo llevó a explorar el bebop, el cool jazz, el jazz modal y el jazz fusion, entre otros estilos.

Welcome to Episode 91 – A Cavalcade of Clips & Work Crews. It is a collection of Norm’s show hours from June 16th and June 25th, 1995. Hope Schauer, Mike Epstein and someone named Ed St. Clair, not to be confused with Eddie LeClair, producing. A lot of the calls heard here are in-progress, a bit choppy, cut short, and unnamed but, as always, just so darn entertaining. It all begins with Louie talking about how radio was changing. We hear from Chauncey and eating rubber chicken in Canada? A caller who entertains with his wife at the Boathouse in Hyannis, the Brandy Barrel in Lynn, and Natalie’s in Danvers. Quick hit from a guest on at 4am from across the pond who ewrote a book on Lorenz Hart. There's some random musical interlude. Then we move to a broadcast from WCCM in Lawrence MA with former WBZ producer Sid Whittaker doing the news! The host was Bruce Arnold and what I believe to be his producer, Eric. There’s some behind the scenes talk about a ‘Countdown to Weather.’ Then a scandal erupted to my ears! They play something called The Birthday Game?! Eric, Sid and a caller take guesses on a couple of celebrity birthdays to be entered to win a gift certificate to The Pasta Shack - We shall return this this later. Next up is Paul Drake doing traffic for Boston’s Business Station, WBNW. That guy sounds familiar. Then some traffic with ‘Paul’ Jack Harte for WBZ We get lots of Norm Show opens throughout this episode. Norm teases an upcoming guest, Phil Kaufman. Some More Jack Harte traffic. Let’s now jump to Norm and Jack talking. I had clipped out an article on The Zipper Lane and the wacky machine that moves the little barriers on the SE Expressway. Norm was fascinated by the whole thing. They have cameras monitoring all of it and this leads to a discussion on all sorts of cable channels dedicated to all sorts of camera feeds. Norm has a particularly good idea that you’ll have to wait to hear. There’s even a mention of the long-lost Store 24. They may have something here since Norm would have never believed there would be a channel totally dedicated to weather (TWC) yet here we are! Norm tells us of another upcoming guest Tom Hamil, editor of Collecting Toys Magazine. Another Jack Traffic report. Let’s take some more calls: Jim from the Burlington, Vermont area Next caller is a musician and soloist. Plays a variety of string instruments. Does comedy and offbeat stuff. Plays a regular gig in Boston on a night when Norm’s not on. He won’t recognize Norm by sight, so he’ll have to do his best work all the time just in case he shows up. During this we hear some wisdom from Norm’s grandfather. Jack Harte in traffic again! A caller complimenting Norm. One from whereabouts unknown, talking about shooting pigeons in the park from 6pm to dusk. We take a moment to understand how to use clothes on the clothesline to find the wind direction? Thankfully this was very ‘brief.’ Next caller, Chris, talking about old time radios, the Antique Radio Association and the N.E. Antique Radio Club, Hosts a program called ‘Let’s Talk Showbiz’ on WOMR down on the Cape in Provincetown. There’s VERY Quick call from Foster Brooks? Next up is Frank, continues the old radio talk tubes and testers Then our old friend Glenn from Brighton is on the line. His friend Eleanor in Quincy is afraid of balconies. Glenn has a foolproof solution you’ll want to hear and maybe even try. There’s some discussion of The Shadow, Kato (Not to be confused with Kato Kalin) and Margo Lane. Hillary from Bu

PAL JOEY COMPOSER: Richard Rodgers LYRICIST: Lorenz Hart BOOK: John O'Hara SOURCE: John O'Hara's short stories (1930s) DIRECTOR: George Abbott CHOREOGRAPHER: Robert Alton PRINCIPLE CAST: Leila Ernst (Linda), Gene Kelly (Joey), Vivienne Segal (Vera),  OPENING DATE: Dec 25, 1940 CLOSING DATE: Nov 29, 1941 PERFORMANCES: 374 SYNOPSIS: John O'Hara's short stories tell the tale of Chicago huckster Joey Evans who has dreams of opening up his own nightclub. Penniless, he seduces Vera, a wealthy socialite, while at the same time stringing along the naïve lovestruck Linda.  John O'Hara's adaptation of his own serialized characters with Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart engrossed audiences in the disreputable universe of its titular character. Pal Joey's unsentimental treatment of nightclub life and uncensored sex appeal were controversial and divided the opinions of critics and audiences in 1940. Though a relative success by contemporary standards, it was only decades later that the score resurfaced in the zeitgeist thanks to hit versions of “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered”. A new generation of popular recordings and a studio album led to a revival which, thanks to the developing scope of narratives told through musical theatre, was warmly received. Laurence Maslon places Pal Joey in the timeline of musicals with dark subjects.This chapter places Pal Joey in the timeline of musicals with dark subjects.

Oscar Hammerstein está reconocido como uno de los mayores libretistas y letristas del musical americano. Su mayor éxito le llegó con Jerome Kern en 1925 y el musical "Show Boat", que hemos revisado en el podcast de “Cuéntame un musical” de este mes. Estableció las bases de lo que hoy entendemos como “musical”, donde guion, canciones y bailes deben estar integrados y ayudar a avanzar la acción. Trabajó en Hollywood en películas como “Swing time” con Fred Astaire y Ginger Rogers y ganó dos Oscar a la mejor canción original por “The last time I saw Paris” (1941) y “It might as well be spring” (1945), aunque se prodigó más en Broadway. Richard Rodgers, tras la muerte de su letrista Lorenz Hart, comenzó una colaboración con Oscar Hammerstein en los clásicos Oklahoma! (1943), Carousel (1945), Allegro (1947), South Pacific (1949), El rey y yo (1951), Me & Juliet (1953), Pipe Dream (1955), Flower Drum Song (1958), y "Sonrisas y lágrimas" (1960). Su trabajo denunciando temas como el racismo, el respeto por otras culturas o la violencia doméstica, abrió el camino a generaciones posteriores, que escribirían musicales de corte dramático, como "West Side Story", "Sweeney Todd", "Company", "Los Miserables", etc. 00h 00'00" Presentación 00h 04'55" Cabecera 00h 05'30" I won't dance - Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga 00h 09'24" The folks who lives on the hill - Eric Clapton 00h 13'02" If I loved you - Sierra Boggess & Julian Ovenden 00h 18'29" Bali Ha'i - Sarah Vaughan 00h 22'14" Hello, young lovers - Laura Michelle Kelly 00h 25'29" I have dreamed - Bryn Terfel 00h 29'04" Indian love call - Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy 00h 32'01" Mister Snow - Audra McDonald 00h 35'34" A kiss to build a dream - Tony Bennett & k.d.lang 00h 38'53" Edelweiss - Bryn Terfel & Paul Daniel 00h 41'28" I enjoy being a girl - Sandra Allen 00h 47'21" No other love - Michael Feinstein 00h 51'35" My lord and master - Lea Salonga 00h 53'37" Bloody Mary - Ambrosian Singers 00h 55'40" Getting to know you - James Taylor 00h 58'21" You've got to be carefully taught - Harry Connick jr 00h 59'48" Love, look away - Lea Salonga 01h 02'35" Oh, what a beautiful morning - Hugh Jackman 01h 05'55" Something wonderful - Marilyn Horne 01h 09'23" Old man river - Inia Te Wiata 01h 13'56" The last time I saw Paris - Eartha Kitt 01h 17'38" Happy talk - Doris Day 01h 20'34" Soliloquy - Samuel Ramsey 01h 27'47" I'm gonna wash that man - Glenn Close, Ilene Graff & The nurses 01h 30'35" When I grow too old to dream - Nat King Cole 01h 34'02" A wonderful guy - Glenn Close & The nurses 01h 37'25" You'll never walk alone - Matthew Morrison 01h 40'14" My favorite things - Rebecca Luker 01h 42'55" Lover, come back - Nat King Cole 01h 45'22" I whistle a happy tune - Julie Andrews 01h 47'05" All the things you are - Carly Simon 01h 51'32" Some enchanted evening - Philip Quast 01h 54'23" This nearly was mine - José Carreras 01h 58'01" What's the use of wonderin' - Barbara Cook 02h 02'07" The song is you - Bing Crosby 02h 06'59" The sound of music - Petula Clark 02h 10'10" There is nothing like a dame - Ambrosian Singers 02h 13'59" Can't help lovin' that man - Kiri Te Kanawa & Natalie Cole 02h 19'34" The surrey with the fringe on top - Hugh Jackman & Josefina Gabrielle 02h 25'25" People will say we're in love - Doris Day 02h 28'16" Maria - Gina Ferrall, Ann Browne, Jeanne Lehman & Patti Cohenour 02h 30'33" Climb every mountain - Audra McDonald

百老匯上 On Broadway 早期百老匯音樂劇，尤其是「歌舞喜劇」這個類目項下， 往往輕劇情而重歌舞，如今搬演的機會已經不多， 劇中的歌曲則早已擁有獨立的藝術生命，於各地傳唱不歇。 首演於1937年的《金玉滿堂》（Babes in Arms）就是極好的例子。 這部作品由經典組合理察羅傑斯（Richard Rodgers） 與勞倫茲哈特（Lorenz Hart）聯手創作，原作劇情既稀薄荒誕又充滿政治與社會諷刺， 試圖在輕鬆的青少年男女戀愛裡包夾種族歧視議題， 以及美國早期共產黨成員在一般社群裡的活動。即便如此，一首接一首的流行金曲至今仍傳唱不輟， 〈My Funny Valentine〉、〈The Lady is a Tramp〉、〈Where or When〉等等， 都是名氣極響亮的標準金曲，1950年代後期劇本改寫之後，原版也甚少再次上演， 近年最轟動的一次乃是1999年的紐約「安可」（Encore）系列演唱會。 1939年搬上銀幕，中文譯名曰《金玉滿堂》， 由米高梅公司的青春紅星Judy Garland 和 Mickey Rooney領銜主演， 僅保留原作的兩首歌曲，以及「青春少年自己在家鄉後院的穀倉製作歌舞秀」的戲劇梗幹， 其餘故事全部新編，歌曲全部新寫，賣座成績也相當不錯。

Welcome to Episode 3 which covers the early life and career of Richard Rodgers, particularly his work with Lorenz Hart

My funny Valentine (mi graciosa Valentine) es un tema de Richard Rogers con letra de Lorenz Hart para la comedia de Broadway Babes in Arms de 1937. Con una letra poco convencional para una canción de amor-ella tiene defectos físicos menores-pero el enamorado le pide que no cambie un ápice su apariencia. Hay disputa pero creemos que Chet Baker es el responsable de la enorme fama del tema en el jazz, ya desde el año 1952. Miles Davis la toma en interpretación magistral mucho más tarde, en 1956. Vibremos con Chet, Miles, Mulligan, Ella, Old Blue Eyes, Bill Evans y otros.

It's almost as if it was sent from above! The WPMT premiere of “I Married An Angel” is now live on YouTube, Facebook, Spotify and all major podcast platforms! This 1952 audio broadcast, with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, stars Lucille Norman and Gordon MacRae and features hit songs “Spring is Here,” “Did You Ever Get Stung?,” “I'll Tell the Man in the Street” and more!

To a great extent the Broadway Musical has been a queer creation -- and for more than 125 years the musical theater world has been filled with brilliant and creative LGBTQ people, including many in the highest positions of power and influence. In this episode David Armstrong shares the fascinating stories Broadway's defining queer choreographers Robert Alton & Jack Cole, the legendary gay songwriters Noel Coward and Larry Hart, directors Monty Wooley and Moss Hart, and prolific bookwriter Herbert Fields, who is without doubt one of the most significant and least known inventors of the Broadway Musical!

Con esta propuesta queremos revindicar las manifestaciones creativas, en este caso los conciertos, que pueden y deben mantener viva y cercana a su público la oferta cultural. Agradecemos profundamente el apoyo y la sensibilidad hacia este tipo de iniciativas por parte de las entidades que las han mantenido y han apostado por ellas en estos momentos tan críticos. Acerca del Día Internacional del Jazz En noviembre de 2011, durante la Conferencia General de la UNESCO, la comunidad internacional proclamó el 30 de abril como el Día Internacional del Jazz. Esta jornada tiene como objetivo sensibilizar al público general sobre las virtudes de la música jazz como herramienta educativa y como motor para la paz, la unidad, el diálogo y el refuerzo de la cooperación entre pueblos. Gobiernos, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, instituciones educativas y ciudadanos particulares ya implicados en la promoción de la música jazz aprovecharán esta oportunidad para fomentar la idea de que no se trata tan sólo de un estilo de música, sino de que el jazz contribuye también a la construcción de sociedades más inclusivas. ¿Por qué un Día Internacional del Jazz? • El jazz rompe barreras y crea oportunidades para la comprensión mutua y la tolerancia • El jazz eje de la libertad de expresión • El jazz es un símbolo de unidad y paz • El jazz reduce tensiones entre individuos, grupos y comunidades • El jazz fomenta la igualdad de género • El jazz refuerza el papel que juega la juventud en el cambio social • El jazz promueve la innovación artística, la improvisación, nuevas formas de expresión y la integración de músicas tradicionales en las formas musicales modernas • El jazz estimula el diálogo intercultural y facilita la integración de jóvenes provenientes de medios marginados. Historia y repercusión El jazz es un estilo musical único que se originó en el sur de los Estados Unidos de América pero que tiene a la vez sus raíces en África y mezcla tradiciones musicales tanto africanas como europeas. Antes de la aparición de estructuras sociales de integración tales como el lugar de trabajo, el sistema educativo o los equipos de deporte profesionales, los grupos de jazz era un ejemplo de tolerancia, cooperación, improvisación y entendimiento mutuo. Además, el jazz era un espacio de libertad de expresión y emancipación de la mujer, es un ejemplo del poder de transformación de este derecho humano fundamental. A lo largo del siglo XX, el jazz ha resultado ser un lenguaje universal escuchado en todos los continentes, siendo influenciado e influenciando al mismo tiempo otros tipos de música, hasta convertirse en elemento cultural de mestizaje universal y abierto a todo el mundo, sin distinción de raza, religión o nacionalidad. La música jazz ha dado la oportunidad y la motivación a muchas mujeres para ir más allá del papel tradicional asignado a cada género por la sociedad. El jazz fue una fuerza propulsora del Movimiento de Liberación de la Mujer en Estados Unidos. Así mismo, el jazz también ayudó a conseguir trabajos para las mujeres dentro de la industria musical, especialmente como cantantes. Antes de 1920, la práctica totalidad de música popular era interpretada exclusivamente por músicos varones.

Holy Moley, kids. It's another overstuffed episode of the show for you. But, I guess that's what happens when you're dealing with a song that goes clear back to 1933. "Blue Moon" was written by Rodgers and Hart, and it was going to be used in a movie, then it wasn't. Then it was going to be used in another movie, then it wasn't. Then it was again, and the publisher at MGM thought the melody would make a pretty nice popular song, so he convinced Lorenz Hart to change the lyrics. And it did take some convincing, for reasons you'll get to hear about during the show. While you're here, let me give extra thanks to Bill Tyres for his permission to use the audio from one of his YouTube videos. You can find his over at his main webpage, or through his YouTube channel. Tell him I sent you. Also, as promised, here are the stories about the woman who claims her dad was the true composer of the song:New York Times article (soft paywall)Liz Roman Gallese's website. And finally, as a little bonus, here's Elvy Yost, singing the first incarnation of the song. She appeared on an episode of The Catch singing a later version of it (and it looked like a YouTube video in the show), but it doesn't appear that she actually made a video for YT consumption. Click here for a transcript of this episode.

Succes-makkerpar fra den amerikanske musicals guldalder. Først var komponisten Richard Rodgers sammen med Lorenz Hart, der ulykkeligvis ikke kunne administrere sit liv som han kunne skrive gode tekster. Da han kastede håndklædet i ringen foreslog han selv at Rodgers skulle finde sammen med Oscar Hammerstein. Rodgers kunne ikke have fundet en mere værdig afløser og succes'en nåede nye højder. En perlerække af hits, der fylder godt i the Great Amercan Songbook. Her får du foldet historien ud om en magisk tid i musicalens historie. Værter: Stine Rosengren og Silas Holst. www.dr.dk/p2

‘Rockhistorier’ forkæler  lytterne med en klynge forgyldte evergreens, skrevet af folk som Cole Porter, Gershwin-brødrene og Irving Berlin, sunget af mesteren selv.Frank Sinatras karriere falder i flere stadier. Efter en periode som refrænsanger i Tommy Dorseys orkester udløste det Sinatramania, at han gik solo i 1942, hvor han blev det store idol for datidens bobby soxers. I starten af 1950’erne faldt populariteten betragteligt, og de færreste fattede, at Capitol Records gad skrive kontrakt med ham i 1953, hvor Columbia Records droppede ham. Men samme år revitaliserede hans rolle i filmen ”Herfra til evigheden” karrieren, og han gik ind i dens kunstnerisk mest frugtbare fase.Frem til 1962 indspillede han 15 mesterlige lp’er for Capitol, heraf over halvdelen i selskab med den kongeniale arrangør og orkesterleder Nelson Riddle, resten med folk som Gordon Jenkins, Billy May og Axel Stordahl. Hvert album slog en tone an, som forfulgtes hele vejen igennem, og i processen skabtes konceptpladen. Sinatra vekslede ligeligt mellem swing-tunes og torch-songs, to genrer, han ubesværet mestrede og resultatet blev det måske fineste og mest slidstærke underholdningsmusik, der nogensinde er blevet indspillet på magnetbånd.Playliste: I Get a Kick Out of You (Cole Porter) (1954) A Foggy Day (George & Ira Gershwin) (1954) Just One of Those Things (Cole Porter) (1954) Get Happy (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler) (1954) In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning (David Mann, Bob Hilliard) (1955) It Never Entered My Mind (Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart) (1955) I’ve Got You under My Skin (Cole Porter) (1956) Old Devil Moon (Burton Lane, E.Y. ”Yip” Harburg (1956) Don’t Like Goodbyes (Harold Arlen, Truman Capote) (1957) I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good) (Duke Ellington, Paul Francis Webster) (1957) Autumn Leaves (Jacques Prévert, Johnny Mercer, Joseph Kosma) (1957) Lonely Town (Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, Adolph Green) (1957) Come Fly with Me (Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen) (1958) Only the Lonely (Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen) (1958) One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) (Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer) (1958) Something’s Gotta Give (Johnny Mercer) (1959) Here’s That Rainy Day (Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen) (1959) How Deep Is the Ocean (Irving Berlin) (1960) On the Sunny Side of the Street (Jimmy McHugh, Dorothy Fields) (1961) September Song (Kurt Weill, Maxwell Anderson) (1962)Glædelig jul og godt nytår fra ‘Rockhistorier', vi er tilbage tirsdag d. 8.1.2019.

Richard Rodgers was an American composer of music, with over 900 songs and 43 Broadway musicals, leaving a legacy as one of the most significant composers of 20th century American music. He is best known for his songwriting partnerships with the lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II. His music has been recorded by many different artists throughout the last century and into this one. On the show today, I thought it would be fun to listen to the great big bands interpret the music of Richard Rodgers. He is truly a giant of the Great American Songbook.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II are two of the greatest entertainers in New York City history. They have entertained millions of people with their unique and influential take on the Broadway musical -- serious, sincere, graceful and poignant. In this episode, we tell the story of this remarkable duo -- from their early years with other creators (Hammerstein with Jerome Kern, Rodgers with Lorenz Hart) to a run-down of all their shows. And almost all of it -- from the plains of Oklahoma to the exotic climates of South Pacific -- takes place on just two city blocks in Midtown Manhattan! boweryboyshistory.com (Stay tuned to the end of the podcast for information on the music clips used in the show.) Support the show.

This week we discuss 1940's Pal Joey with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, book by John O'Hara, based on a series of short stories he published in the New Yorker, directed by George Abbott (the Hal Prince of his day). We discuss the songwriting team of Rodgers and Hart, the most popular hit-writers of the 1930s, in their most well remembered show, and one of their last before Rodgers replaced Hart with Hammerstein. We've got more clips than ever this week, with three from Pal Joey and three others from earlier in Rodgers and Hart's career (including some songs you probably know!). If you ever wondered what Rodgers and Hart sounded like, but not enough to go to the effort yourself, this podcast will be all you need! Next week is Oklahoma! We'll be talking about the movie version, so feel free to watch it before you listen if you don't know the show or want to refresh your memory.

Imagine growing up in a world where your neighbors were Tennessee Williams, The Marx Brothers, Alan Jay Lerner, Noel Coward, Arthur Miller, and scores of others. For Michael Colby he did grow up in such a world because his grandparents owned New York's famous Algonquin Hotel. Now, Michael swings by Shetler to discuss with Rob and Kevin his enviable life as a real life Eloise of The Plaza. Michael pulls back the curtain on his career to discuss how he became the confidante of some of the Algonquin's most infamous residents, what prompted a flashing by Norma Jean, and why Harpo Marx never traveled alone! Also, Michael shines the spotlight on Vivien Leigh, Ella Fitzgerald, and Lorenz Hart!

Born in 1945 in Liverpool, England, Terence Davies was the youngest of 10 children in a Catholic working-class family who suffered with an abusive father, bullies at school, the abuses of the Catholic Church and his own legendary self-loathing for being gay. After a shut-down adolescence he spent years as an accountant. He got into acting and then writing and filmmaking. His first 3 short films made in the 1980's entitled Children, Madonna and Child, and Death and Transfiguration later became known as The Terence Davies Trilogy. They were semi-autobiographical glimpses into the harrowing life of torment experienced by Davies in post-WWII Liverpool. In his first feature film, 1988's Distant Voices, Still Lives, the family again lives in the shadow of a monstrously abusive father, this time played by the great British character actor Pete Postlethwaite, whom Davies says is the only actor to play a member of his family who actually looked like the person they were portraying. Andy talks to Terence Davies about the 1992 film The Long Day Closes, a beautiful film centering on the favorite time of Davies’ childhood between the time his abusive father died and the family could relax a little, and the onset of his own highly fraught adolescence. They talk about several of his favorite cinematic techniques including his re-contextualizing of fragments of soundtracks from other movies, about the lost tradition of public singing in Britain, and of the chronic low self-esteem that haunts this great artist. Also about his new documentary/essay film about Liverpool entitled Of Time and the City, opening on Jan. 21 at Film Forum in NYC following a buzz-generating special screening at the Cannes film festival last year. Terence Davies is also being honored at New York's Museum of Modern Art this week. In an article in the New York Times yesterday (Jan. 11th), Dennis Lim compared Terence Davies with the English singer Morrissey in that they have both made a beautiful body of work based on misery. Andy spoke to Terence Davies following a chance meeting at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley California.
