Product Description
No American city has inspired more music than the Big Apple. For more than 250 years, composers have sought to capture the sounds, energy, and sophistication of New York life in song. New York: Songs of the City introduces readers to the best-loved songs and most evocative music written about America's premier city. It also explores the significant role music, musicians, and musical life played in shaping and defining how the world imagines life in "The City That Never Sleeps." The lushly illustrated book features the lyrics from many of the more than 1,000 songs that have been written about New York City. Short samples of music are matched with period photographs of the evolving city and New York-related illustrations taken from sheet music covers and record album jackets. Drawing on years of research, the author serves as an engaging, informative, and highly readable guide for this urban musical tour.
