George Gershwin: American Genius (1898-1937)
A biography featuring information about his collaboration with Dubose Heyward on
the opera Porgy and Bess, photograph, and audio samples.
As a major figure in the history of American music, George Gershwin succeeded brilliantly in creating a synthesis of Jazz with Classical music genres in a manner that has endured the test of time
Gershwin produced serious works that were daring for their time but which today have become classics of piano, orchestral, and opera literature
However, at their first performances, Gershwin's bold and innovative works confounded the New York critics, and they were, more often than not, coldly reviewed
It has been said that Gershwin bridged the musical gap between Tin Pan Alley and the great concert halls of New York through his unique musical style
Gershwin's works in Classical genres, though small in number compared to his songs for Broadway musicals and Hollywood, were interspersed throughout his relatively brief career
One can only imagine what Gershwin might have achieved in serious music had he lived a normal life span
George Gershwin, named Jacob Gershovitz at his birth on September 26, 1898, was the second of four children born to Morris and Rose Gershovitz, Russian immigrants who had married in America

Naxos Worldwide Sites: E-mail Password > > > Gershwin, George GERSHWIN, GEORGE Composer (1898-1937) George Gershwin is one of the Twentieth Century’s most revered composers
There were many “firsts” for Gershwin: the first to combine serious and popular music in his jazz concerto, “Rhapsody in Blue” (1924); the first to score a Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, Of Thee I Sing (1931), which was one of the Gershwin brothers’ “serious” musicals employing social satire; and the first to write an American opera, Porgy and Bess (1935), further distinguished by its all-black cast, its roots in African culture, and hits such as “Summertime.” In 1926 his “Clap Yo’ Hands” encouraged other composers to create feel-good religious songs in their musicals, and “American in Paris” (1928) stands alone as an orchestral work
Gershwin wrote for several of George White’s Scandals, an annual variety show which introduced songs such as “I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise” and “Somebody Loves Me.” George and his lyricist brother Ira produced many hit musicals: Lady Be Good (1924), starring the Astaires and the song “Fascinatin’ Rhythm”; Oh, Kay! (1926) in which Gertrude Lawrence introduced “Someone to Watch Over Me”; Funny Face (1927) with its hit “S’Wonderful”; Strike Up the Band (1930) with “I’ve Got a Crush on You”; and Girl Crazy (1930), which introduced “But Not for Me, ” “Embraceable You, ” and “I Got Rhythm.” The Gershwins moved to Hollywood where they wrote for several films, foremost among them the Astaire/Rogers classic, Shall We Dance? (1937)
