Podcasts about Lorenz Hart

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

Alfred Hitchcock! bell hooks! The Ballad of Reading Gaol! The dramatic conclusion of our Pal Joey series finds Rabia, Felix and Henry bewitched, bothered and bewildered as they learn the end of Lorenz Hart's story and grapple with the very nature of love. In putting forth our dueling philosophies of love, can we get to the bottom of the thing that all of Sinatra's songs are about, the thing that has baffled philosophers since time began? What is this thing called love, anyway?!

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.

Cuando Irving Berlin era camarero en un bar de Chinatown, Johnny Mercer era acunado por su niñera negra. Cuando George Gershwin dejó el instituto para tocar el piano en la Calle 28, conocida como Tin Pan Alley porque albergaba las cacofónicas oficinas de muchas editoriales de partituras, Johnny Mercer era niño de coro en la Iglesia Episocpal de Cristo. Cuando Richard Rodgers y Lorenz Hart luchaban por colocar sus ingeniosas canciones en los musicales de Broadway, Johnny Mercer se dedicaba a gastar bromas en un elegante colegio de Virginia.

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.

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.

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?

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
