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).

The director has a basic fear of the author. After all, he has created the character and knows what he expects from them. But a director has to justify his existence and this results in hostility.

From “Songwriting a 3-Way Job” by Jerry Gaghan. Philadelphia Daily News, March 20, 1961, during the pre-Broadway Philadelphia tryout of Yip’s penultimate Broadway musical, The Happiest Girl in the World.
