Epoch: Modern Country: USA George Gershwin (1898-1937) Detailed Information about Picture Gallery List of Works Bibliography 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

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.

Gert Jan Blom works at the Dutch Broadcastingfirm VPRO. He has a very good nose for music from the twenties/thirties/fourties which is especially right for the Metropole Orchestra. He has searched and found lots and lots of music in American libraries. This project of Grofé has just been put on cd by the Metropole Orchestra other projects with the M.O. before this were: Mr. Magoo, Laurel and Hardy, Andre Popp...and now: Ferde Grofé An imaginative composer and the "father of arrangers" by Herman Openneer During the 1920s and ’30s, Whiteman was the most successful and widely known band leader in the United States—and his renown spread far beyond America’s borders as well. Whiteman’s orchestra, which he had formed in 1919, had by 1923 attained worldwide fame. The man behind both the piano and the scenes was arranger Ferde Grofé, a true pioneer who from 1920 onward propelled the Whiteman unit to the top with his ground-breaking arrangements and orchestrations. Today, Grofé is rightly remembered as the "father of all arrangers." Thanks to Grofé’s touch, the standards "Whispering" and "The Japanese Sandman" became international hits in 1920. In 1923, Whiteman hired the young George Gershwin to compose a piece especially for his band, to be performed on February 12, 1924. Gershwin received some help on this major project from others. His brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin, came up with the title: "Rhapsody in Blue." Irish-American composer Victor Herbert suggested several changes, and Whiteman’s reed player Ross Gorman proposed the opening trill and the subsequent, now-unforgettable clarinet glissando. And it was Ferde Grofé who insisted that Gershwin retain the slow middle theme, which Gershwin had considered abandoning.
