"I'll write Jewish tunes". - (Cole Porter):

A HISTORY... (IN A NUTSHELL)

"TIN PAN ALLEY" was the nickname given to the street where many music publishers worked during the period of 1880 to 1953 . In the late 19th century, New York had become the epicenter of songwriting and music publishing, and publishers converged on the block of West 28th Street between Broadway and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.

There are several stories about how the block got its name. One that is often repeated tells of a reporter (Monroe ROSENFELD) for the 'New York Herald' who was hired to write about the new business of sheet music publishing in the city. As he walked down 28th Street toward the publishing offices, he heard the dissonant chords and strings of competing pianos through the open windows. The sound, he remarked, sounded like a bunch of tin pans clanging.

During the period before Elvis Presley* made a song's performance more important than its publication--when a song's popularity was determined not by the number of records it sold but by the number of sheet music copies it sold--publishing companies hired composers and lyricists on a permanent basis to create popular songs. The publishers then used extensive promotion campaigns to market these songs to the general public in sheet music form.

Never in the history of American popular music were so many genres centered in one area. Through the 1880's and into the early 1900's, the European operettas were a heavy influence on American songs. This period is referred to as the Golden Age of the ballad. Between 1900 and 1910, more than 1800 "rags" had been published on TIN PAN ALLEY, beginning with "Maple Leaf Rag" by Scott Joplin*.

In 1912, W.C. Handy* introduced popular music to the underground sound of the Blues. By 1917, a recording by a new musician, Louis Armstrong*, took over TIN PAN ALLEY and the 1920's were dedicated to the playing and recording of Jazz. Theatre, which had remained the entertainment of choice, fused all preceding stage shows -- minstrel, vaudeville, musical comedy, revues, burlesque and variety -- to create the spectacular Broadway production.

By 1926, the first movie with sound came creating a new outlet for production music. Folk and Country Music was introduced to mainstream audiences in the mid-1930's. Big bands and swing music defined the 1930's and 40's, introducing new accompanying vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald* and Billie Holiday*. In the early 40's, publishers imported Latin American sound from Brazil, Mexico and Cuba and English lyrics were adapted to foreign themes.

At the close of World War II, instrumental big bands faded behind the popularity of vocal groups and the new modern sound called "be-bop".

In the beginning of the 1950's, radio play and disc jockeys became more prominent, and records were being produced for sale to the public-mostly targeted toward teenagers -- rather than sheet music created for adults who bought music for their home. Publishers were no longer in charge of the promotion of a song, and from 1953 to the present, rock and roll dominated the charts.

The collaboration between publishers, songwriters and songwriting teams created the greatest popular songs of our country's musical history. While obsolete now, TIN PAN ALLEY remains synonymous with the most prolific and diverse period in American popular music.

MUSICAL

Richard Charles RODGERS (born June 28, 1902, NYC - December 30, 1979) was one of the great composers of musical theater, best known for his song writing partnerships with Lorenz HART and Oscar HAMMERSTEIN* II. He wrote more than 900 published songs, and 40 Broadway musicals. Many of his compositions continue to have a broad appeal and have had a significant impact on the development of popular music.

Lorenz "Larry" HART (May 2, 1895, Harlem, NY - November 22, 1943) was the lyricist half of the famed Broadway songwriting team RODGERS and HART. His most memorable lyrics include, "Blue Moon", "The Lady is a Tramp", "Manhattan", "Mountain Greenery", and "My Funny Valentine".

Oscar HAMMERSTEIN* II (July 12, 1895, NYC - August 23, 1960) was an American writer, producer, and (usually uncredited) director of musicals for almost 40 years.

George GERSHWIN (September 26, 1898, Brooklyn, NY - July 11, 1937, NY), born Jacob Gershvin [orig. Gershowitz], was an American composer who wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works in collaboration with his elder brother lyricist Ira (Israel) GERSHWIN (1896-1983). Gershwin composed both for Broadway ("Lady Be Good") and for the classical concert hall ("Rhapsody in Blue", "Porgy and Bess"). He also wrote popular songs with success. Many of his compositions have been used on television and in numerous films, and many became Jazz standards. Some of their more famous works include: "The Man I Love", "Fascinating Rhythm", "Someone to Watch Over Me", "I Got Rhythm", "Summertime", and "They Can't Take That Away from Me".

Otto A. HARBACH (August 18, 1873, Salt Lake City, Utah - January 24, 1963) was an American lyricist and librettist of about 50 musical comedies

Jerry (b. Gerald) HERMAN (July 10, 1933, New York City) is an American composer/lyricist of the Broadway musical theater. He composed the scores for the hit Broadway musicals "Hello, Dolly!", "Mame", and "La Cage aux Folles".

Sounds Like:
Popular standards are, according to Webster*, "something established as a rule or basis of comparison in measuring or judging quantity, quality, value, etc.; a usage or practice that is generally accepted or followed; criterion; a piece of music that has remained popular for many years; suitable to speech or writing that is more or less formal; not slang, dialectal, obsolete". Popular standards from TIN PAN ALLEY are all of those things.

A standard is a song immediately recognized. It is a song one may not know the title to, but with the first four words and two measures, immediately sings along with (for example Irving BERLIN's "Cheek To Cheek" is recognizable for the phrase "Heaven... I'm in Heaven...").

The standards from TIN PAN ALLEY are individual, written without the context of a script or storyboard, from a single inspiration. While many standards were later included in Broadway shows or Hollywood musicals, the songs were not written for that purpose.

The words and music reflect the creative personality of the songwriters and many times, their personal recollections and emotions. Special to TIN PAN ALLEY because of their enduring popularity and constant rebirth, most Americans cannot remember a time when standards did not exist. Standards are timeless and embedded in the American psyche-reflecting the soundtrack of our lives.

Never before and never after TIN PAN ALLEY was American popular culture so clearly defined by American popular music. TIN PAN ALLEY was based on the songwriter and the creation of standards. The collaborations that came out of TIN PAN ALLEY were unlike any the music world had ever known or would ever know again.
