Book Synopsis A Hymn to Him by : Alan Jay Lerner

Download or read book A Hymn to Him written by Alan Jay Lerner and published by Amadeus Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Lerner's lyrics includes not only the famous Lerner-Louwe musicals such as Brigadoon, Camelot, Paint Your Wagon, Gigi and My Fair Lady, but also the less familiar works, from Lerner's 1943 debut What's Up? to My Man Godfrey which he left half-finished at his death. In his introduction, Benny Green shows how throughout his career, both during his successful partnership with Fritz Louwe and the less satisfactory collaborations with Leonard Bernstein and Andre Previn, Lerner showed total mastery of the art of lyric writing. In his preamble to each show, Green considers the background of the musicals and the problems faced by the writers, including the unconventional ingredients of My Fair Lady and the costing of Gigi.
