George Gershwin
George gershwin was born in New york city in 1898. He became one of America's greatest composers. He is known for his beautiful, exiting concert pieces, as well as for the popular music he wrote for plays and movies.
George was one of the first composers to mix symphonic music with popular music of the day. He came up with a whole new american sound. At the time george was born, america didn't really have a serious classical music style of its own. Most american composers borrowed ideas from great european composers, like beetoven, bach, and chopin.
There was a new kind of popular music, though, that was very American. It was called jazz. Jazz was invented by African-American musicians, who used ideas from lots of different styles of music. They often combined work songs from slave times and religious folk songs (called spirituals) with an exciting beat and rhythm. Two other styles of music that helped make up jazz were ragtime and blues. The musicians made up most of the music as they went along, and played the way they felt at the moment. Because of this, notes were never written down, and pieces never sounded exactly the same way twice.
When George was little, new york city was a pretty rough and tough place to grow up in. Neighborhoods were crowded and there weren't many parks or playgrounds around, so kids had to play in the streets. George enjoyed playing street hockey and stickball. He learned to fight pretty well, too, and he was one of the best roller skaters around.
George didn't seem to have much of an interest in music until one day when he was seven or eight years old. George was roller-skating through a neighborhood in new york called Harlem. Harlem was filled with restaurants and clubs where jazz bands played. George never forgot the exciting, lively beat of the music.
He often roller-skated or hitched rides back to Harlem, just so he could sit outside of restaurants and clubs and listen.
A short time later, George heard some classical violin music. He loved the beautiful sound. The kids in George's neighborhood thought only nerds were interested in music.
George didn't care what anyone thought. After that day, he decide he would learn everything he could about music right away.
George started going to free concerts, where he enjoyed listening to classical music. He even experimented with making up his own songs on a friend's piano.
When George was twelve, a wonderful thing happened. His parents bought a piano. It was really for George's older brother, Ira. Everyone in the family was very surprised when George started playing the piano as soon as he saw it.
George was lucky to find excellent piano teachers when he started taking lessons. By the time he was fifteen, he was good enough to get a job playing the piano at a company that wrote songs and printed sheet music. It was in an area of new york city called tin pan alley. Singers and other show-business people would stop by to listen to new songs for their acts. It was about the only way someone could hear a new song, since there weren't any radios yet, and most people didn't have record players. George got to meet some famous people, like Fred Astaire and his sister, Adele. Sometimes George played his own songs for them.
George's songs were so lively and fun to listen to that it wasn't long before one of them became a big hit. It was called "swanee." a famous singer of the day, Al Jolson, heard George play "Swanee" at a party and decided to sing it in his Broadway show. From then on, George found it easier to get job writing his own music, instead of just playing the music of other composers.
George sometimes asked his brother, Ira, to write words for his songs. Even though George and Ira were very different types of people, hardly anyone worked better together when it came to making music. George and Ira both enjoyed painting, too. Next to writing music, painting was George's favorite thing to do.
