HAROLD ARLEN AND HIS SONGS

July 22, 2024 ypadmin

Coming from Oxford University Press on July 26, 2024, Harold Arlen and His Songs by Walter Frisch is the first comprehensive book about the music of one of the great song composers of the twentieth century. Arlen was Yip Harburg’s most frequent composer-collaborator (they wrote over 150 songs together from 1932 to the mid-1970’s).

A song can degrade your culture, debase your language.  It can pollute your air and poison your tastes, or it can clear your thoughts and refurbish your spirit.  It is the pulse of a nation’s heart, the fever chart of its health.  Are we at peace?  Are we in trouble?  Are we floundering?  Do we feel beautiful? Do we feel ugly?  Are we hysterical, violent?  Listen to our songs. 

Yip Harburg, at the launching of the “Lyrics and Lyricists” series at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, Dec. 13, 1970.
