WITHOUT ANY FORMAL TRAINING IN MUSIC
composition, Irving Berlin took a knack for music
and turned it into the most successful songwriting
career in American history. Berlin was the first Tin
Pan Alley songwriter to go uptown to Broadway
with a complete musical score (Watch Your Step in
1914);
he is the only songwriter to build a theater
exclusively for his own work (The Music Box); and
his name appears above the title of his Broadway
shows and Hollywood films (IrvingBerlin s Holiday
Inn), still a rare honor for songwriters. Berlin is also
notable due to the length of his career in American
Song; he sold his first song at the age of
18
and
passed away at the age of
101
having outlived sev¬
eral of his own copyrights. Throughout his career,
Berlin showed that a popular song need not be of a
lesser quality than songs informed by the principles
of classical music composition. Forty years after
his last published song many of his songs remain
popular, and several have even entered folk song
status, something no other
20th-century
American
songwriter can claim.
As one of the most seminal figures of the twen¬
tieth century, both in the world of music and in
American culture more generally, and as one of
the rare songwriters equally successful with popu¬
lar songs, Broadway shows, and Hollywood scores,
Irving Berlin is the subject of an enormous corpus
of writing, scattered throughout countless publi¬
cations and archives. A noted performer and in¬
terpreter of Berlin s works, Benjamin Sears has
unprecedented familiarity with these sources and
brings together in this Reader a broad range of the
most insightful primary and secondary materials.
Grouped together according to the chronology of
Berlin s life and work, each section and article fea¬
tures a critical introduction to orient the reader and
contextualize the materials within the framework
of American musical history. Taken as a whole, the
writings
—
many by Berlin himself—provide a new
perspective on Berlin that highlights his musical
genius in the context of his artistic development.
BENJAMIN SEARS is a singer who, with
pianist Bradford Conner, specializes in the
Great American
Songbook, in
particular the
songs of Irving Berlin. Sears
&
Conner have
made four CDs of Berlins music together and
lecture regularly on American songwriters and
the great performers of their music.
