SUMMARY:A Salute to George and Ira Gershwin
DESCRIPTION:Ira was known as “The Jeweler\,” a songsmith whose exquisite craftsmanship allowed him to embed a seamless mosaic of words within the contour of a melodic line. And when his brother George sat at the piano\, an endless assortment of tunes came “dripping from his fingers.” From their first hit tune in 1918\, “The Real American Folk Song (Is a Rag)\,” along with immortal blockbusters like “I Got Rhythm\,” “Embraceable You” and “The Man I Love\,” to the heart-wrenching “Love Is Here to Stay\,” a song left unfinished by George’s death in July 1937\, the brother’s legacy of over two dozen scores for Broadway and Hollywood helped establish musical comedy as an American art form.

SUMMARY:Cole Porter: Sophisticate of American Song
DESCRIPTION:Dilettante\, hedonist\, elitist\, snob: Cole Porter was called all of them during his glittering yet troubled life. Whatever detractors may have said about him personally\, Porter’s reputation as a musical genius has never been questioned. The lecture surveys Porter’s life on Broadway and in Hollywood\, covering 40 years that produced 33 stage works and the music for 23 films.  Rare archival film clips and recording of original cast members\, including Ethel Merman\, Fred Astaire\, Louis Armstrong\, and Bing Crosby are featured\, along with Porter himself singing and playing “You’re the Top”—which he was. \nThrough the use of a grand piano and a PowerPoint presentation\, the audience will sway with the songs that people enjoy humming\, masterworks like “Night and Day\,” “Another Op’nin’\, Another Show\,” “Begin the Beguine\,” “I Love Paris” and many\, many more. American music specialist Robert Wyatt will walk you through Cole Porter’s dramatic and fascinating life.

SUMMARY:Irving Berlin: The Last Troubadour
DESCRIPTION:It was truly a “ragtime to riches” path chosen by the immigrant Russian Jew Israel Baline. A teen aged waif slumming an existence in the Bowery during the earliest years of the twentieth-century\, Irving Berlin\, as he was later known\, began writing songs before he knew how to read music. A self-taught and rather pathetic pianist\, he morphed into a genuine musical icon by the age of 23 and remained the standard bearer for all songwriters until his death at the age of 101. Perhaps Jerome Kern describes it most succinctly: “Irving Berlin has no ‘place’ in American music—Irving Berlin IS American music.”

SUMMARY:The Hollywood Musical: The 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Films created during the 1960s belong to the most creative era in cinema history\, a time of tremendous social change\, the Vietnam War\, fashion\, fads\, rock ‘n’ roll and the acceleration of technological ingenuity. However\, movie audiences were rapidly diminishing due to the dominance of the television industry and only 145 musicals were produced in the decade\, compared to the 453 all-singing\, all-dancing extravaganzas churned out in the 1930s. \nBe entertained throughout an evening which features dazzling film clips of your favorite stars and a historical narrative by American music specialist\, Robert Wyatt. Enjoy the emergence of Barbara Streisand\, witness Julie Andrews transform from a nanny to a nun in only a year\, and reserve a front row seat while drifting back to a time when admission to a movie house equaled a six-pack of beer!

SUMMARY:The Hollywood Musical: Four Decades of Magic! Part 1
DESCRIPTION:The golden age of the Hollywood musical coincided with the greatest era of American songwriting. Music-makers like Berlin\, Gershwin\, Porter\, Kern\, and Rodgers and Hart wrote brilliant songs and then shuffled them across the continent from theaters in New York to the film studios in California. \nThe Vitaphone crackles of the first musical talkie traveled in the opposite direction: from the Hollywood sound stages of Warner Bros. to its 1927 world premiere in Manhattan\, where audiences heard Al Jolson speak his prophetic line\, “Wait a minute\, wait a minute…you ain’t heard nothin’ yet!” The sensation created by The Jazz Singer began four decades of melodious invention as the Hollywood musical dominated the landscape of the American film industry. This first of a four-session series pays tribute to the great musicals of the 1930s.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to a King: Elvis Presley
DESCRIPTION:On Sept. 9\, 1956\, more than 60 million people witnessed a young entertainer with gyrating hips and a honey-coated baritone voice croon his way into national consciousness on The Ed Sullivan Show. His rubbery legs spread wide apart\, head thrown carelessly back and mouth twitching\, it was apparent that this man was different. With an onstage persona that magnified unbridled sensuality and a versatile musical style which drew from rock and roll\, gospel\, blues\, country and pop\, Elvis Aaron Presley exuded charms that would make him the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music.

SUMMARY:The Beatles
DESCRIPTION:The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon\, Paul McCartney\, George Harrison and Ringo Starr\, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle\, beat and 1950s rock and roll\, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles\, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock\, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963\, their enormous popularity first emerged as “Beatlemania”; as the group’s music grew in sophistication\, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney\, the band were integral to pop music’s evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.

SUMMARY:Andrew Lord Webber: A Master of Marvels
DESCRIPTION:British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has created a global empire unrivaled in the history of musical theatre. In 1983\, he was the first composer to have three musicals simultaneously on Broadway and in London’s West End\, a feat he duplicated five years later. The New York production of The Phantom of the Opera\, which opened in 1988\, is now nearing 13\,000 performances and was joined this last season by a Broadway revival of another of the composer’s megahits\, Cats. \nLloyd Webber’s phenomenal successes can be attributed to a particular blend of showmanship and superb craft—the genesis of which began in childhood. The son of professional musicians\, he also possessed passions for architecture\, history\, mechanics\, and staging\, which fostered in him an ability to envision productions of astonishing complexity and grandeur. \nJoin music specialist Robert Wyatt as he raises the curtain on a lively afternoon that examines and celebrates Andrew Lloyd Webber’s theatrical artistry\, filled with clips and recordings that cover the full range of his career from his earliest to most recent works.

SUMMARY:The Musical Genius of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Irving Berlin\, a Russian immigrant\, had no formal musical training and could not read or notate music. Cole Porter was wealthy and privileged and had extensive musical training. Berlin spoke to the American heart in sentimental ballads with infectious rhythms. Porter reflected the social elite with witty\, fashionable\, and often cynical lyrics and elegant melodies.  Both wrote the music and lyrics to their works\, and they dominated musical theater and popular song for 40 years.

SUMMARY:Steps in Time: Fred Astaire
DESCRIPTION:Light on his feet\, Fred Astaire revolutionized the movie musical with his elegant and seemingly effortless dance style. He may have made dancing look easy\, but he was a well-known perfectionist\, and his work was the product of endless hours of practice. \nAstaire started performing as a child\, partnering up with his older sister Adele. The two toured the vaudeville circuit before making it to Broadway in 1917. Among their many productions the brother-sister team starred in the 1927 George and Ira Gershwin musical Funny Face. For all his early success\, though\, career in the movies eluded Astaire. He had done a screen test\, but he failed to attract any interest. A studio executive wrote at the time\, “Can’t sing. Can’t act. Slightly balding. Can dance a little.” He eventually appeared in 36 musical films.

SUMMARY:Gertrude Lawrence: The Ghost of the Cape Cod Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Gertrude Lawrence Gertrude Lawrence was one of Great Britain’s brightest theatrical stars during the first half of the 20th century. A lifelong friend and colleague of Noel Coward\, Lawrence ‘s forte was sophisticated musical comedy\, where she exuded a lively\, charismatic stage presence that easily overcame her shortcomings as a singer. She was sometimes criticized for a small vocal range and a tendency to sing flat\, but her emotional commitment and flat-out star power earned her the approval of most of the musical legends she worked with: the Gershwins\, Cole Porter\, Kurt Weill and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Her connection to Cape Cod came later in her career when she married producer and aficionado Richard Aldrich in 1940. Their life together was dear and rewarding and\, fifteen years after her death\, Aldrich published Mrs. A: An Intimate Biography of a Great Star\, the definitive book on Lawrence’s life and career.

SUMMARY:Steps in Time: Fred Astaire
DESCRIPTION:Light on his feet\, Fred Astaire revolutionized the movie musical with his elegant and seemingly effortless dance style. He may have made dancing look easy\, but he was a well-known perfectionist\, and his work was the product of endless hours of practice. \nAstaire started performing as a child\, partnering up with his older sister Adele. The two toured the vaudeville circuit before making it to Broadway in 1917. Among their many productions the brother-sister team starred in the 1927 George and Ira Gershwin musical Funny Face. For all his early success\, though\, career in the movies eluded Astaire. He had done a screen test\, but he failed to attract any interest. A studio executive wrote at the time\, “Can’t sing. Can’t act. Slightly balding. Can dance a little.” He eventually appeared in 36 musical films.

SUMMARY:A Tribute to a King: Elvis Presley
DESCRIPTION:On Sept. 9\, 1956\, more than 60 million people witnessed a young entertainer with gyrating hips and a honey-coated baritone voice croon his way into national consciousness on The Ed Sullivan Show. His rubbery legs spread wide apart\, head thrown carelessly back and mouth twitching\, it was apparent that this man was different. With an onstage persona that magnified unbridled sensuality and a versatile musical style which drew from rock and roll\, gospel\, blues\, country and pop\, Elvis Aaron Presley exuded charms that would make him the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music.

SUMMARY:The Ragtime Craze
DESCRIPTION:Although ragtime music was first heard at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893\, it took another seven years for the syncopated music to become the rage of the new century. Scott Joplin wrote the bulk of the most-remembered classical piano rags\, but dozens of other composers vied for his recognition. From Kansas City came James Scott and Joseph Lamb who arrived in New York City from across the river in New Jersey. But then the barons of the music publishing industry on Tin Pan Alley flooded the market with cheap imitations which soured the buyers of sheet music. Ragtime music was finished by 1917\, the year that Joplin died. This program includes scores of archival recordings and clips\, as well as live performance by Dr. Wyatt.

SUMMARY:The World of Lerner & Loewe
DESCRIPTION:In temperament\, personality and background\, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe were perhaps the most dissimilar of all of the great songwriting teams. Yet together they penned some of the most original and successful musicals written during the Golden Age of Broadway\, hits beginning with Brigadoon in 1947 and ending with Gigi in 1973. Between those bookends fell Paint Your Wagon\, the blockbuster My Fair Lady which made Julie Andrews an over-night sensation\, and Camelot\, starring Ms. Andrews\, Richard Burton and Robert Goulet in his Broadway debut. Often at odds with each other personally\, their

TV specials like The Judy Garland Show (1962) with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra\, the specials that featured Robert Goulet still basking from Camelot and\, of course\, the prized duos with daughter Liza Minnelli\, will stimulate your thoughts about “America’s Sweetheart.”
