Zusammenfassung:
'Harold Arlen and His Songs' is a comprehensive work about the music of one of the great song composers of the twentieth century. Arlen wrote many standards of the American Songbook - including Get Happy, Over the Rainbow, Stormy Weather, Come Rain or Come Shine, and The Man That Got Away - that today rank among the best known and loved. Walter Frisch places these and other songs in the context of a long career that took Arlen from Buffalo, New York; to Harlem's Cotton Club; to Broadway stages; and to the film studios of Hollywood. Even with their complex melodies, harmonies, and formal structures, Arlen's tunes remain accessible and memorable.
