An appreciation by ALAN DELL of the music of George Gershwin
(FERDE GROFE)
George Gershwin lived for only 39 years but in that time he had written a host of popular songs, eight musicals, five major orchestral works, several piano preludes, an opera and a number of film scores. His music is dramatic, emotional, lyrical and rhapsodic and is considered by many Americans to be part of their national heritage.
ALAN DELL examines the work of George Gershwin and discusses with some of the people who knew him and have performed his compositions exactly what his contribution to American music was. Producer JOHN KNIGHT
