Now, in Listening for America, he turns his keen ear to the Great American Songbook, bringing many of our favorite classics to life through the songs and stories of eight of the twentieth century's most treasured American composers-Kern, Porter, Gershwin, Arlen, Berlin, Rodgers, Bernstein, and Sondheim. Hardly confining himself to celebrating what makes these catchy melodies so unforgettable, Kapilow delves deeply into how issues of race, immigration, sexuality, and appropriation intertwine in masterpieces like Show Boat and West Side Story. A book not just about musical theater but about America itself, Listening for America is equally for the devotee, the singer, the music student, or for anyone intrigued by how popular music has shaped the larger culture, and promises to be the ideal gift book for years to come"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Popular music $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Songs $z United States $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Songs $z United States $y 20th century $x Analysis, appreciation. 650 0 $a Musicals $z United States $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Musical criticism. 941 $a 7 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203070054.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055941.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020344.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082604.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20200421011101.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200104010559.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191109010223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E3253FC02BE11EA855DBD6497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
