ISBN: 9780195115703 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) To the perennial question "which comes first, the music or the words?" Ira Gershwin always responded, "the contract." The jest reveals both Ira's consummate professionalism and the self-effacing wit with which he ducked the spotlight whenever possible. Yet the ingeniously inventive melodies George Gershwin composed for such classic songs as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Embraceable You," "Fascinating Rhythm," "It Ain't Necessarily So," and "Love is Here to Stay" live on in no small part because of the equally unforgettable lyrics of Ira Gershwin, lines crafted with a precision that earned him...

The Words and Music of Frank Zappa
ISBN: 9780275987794 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This is the first book to move beyond the details of Zappa's biography toward a focused treatment of his songs.

Zappa's messages--musical and lyrical--may not... This is the first book to move beyond the details of Zappa's biography toward a focused treatment of his songs.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) While the blues musical form has been widely studied, the structure and content of blues lyrics have been less fully explored.
