What is George Gershwin (20th Century Composers) about?
George Gershwin (18981937), during his short but prolific career, produced a varied body of work that combined symphonic composition with the musical styles popular in his era, including jazz and Negro spirituals. Known primarily for his jazz-tinged orchestral work Rhapsody in Blue , his folk opera Porgy and Bess , and his many wonderful songs featured in the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gershwin and his lyricist brother Ira were key figures in the songwriting circles of pre-war America. Rodney Greenbergs lively biography paints a vivid picture of this exciting era in the development of American music, and places Gershwins life and career within the social and cultural contexts in which he flourished.
