| Zusammenfassung: | "Composer David Shire and lyricist Richard Maltby, Jr., two of the most gifted songwriters of our time, are revered among musical theater lovers for their ground-breaking off-Broadway revues Starting Here, Starting Now and Closer Than Ever, as well as for the Broadway musicals Baby and Big. Yet relatively little has been written about them and their work. In this book, composer/conductor/music journalist/Yale and NYU professor Joshua Rosenblum sets out to increase appreciation for Maltby and Shire's large and impressive body of work and establish their place in musical theater history. The book chronicles their six-decade partnership, giving full behind-the-scenes accounts of their musicals, interspersed with illuminating analyses of standout individual numbers. The two songwriters, engaging and articulate, are quoted liberally throughout the book in exclusive interviews. Additionally, the book covers other well-known artistic figures who feature prominently in the Maltby/Shire story, including Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Francis Ford Coppola, Craig Lucas, Mike Ockrent, Susan Stroman, John Weidman, Charles Strouse, Adam Gopnik, Jason Robert Brown, and Jonathan Tunick. Attention is also given to Shire's separate career as an Oscar- and Grammy-winning film and TV composer, and Maltby's as a Tony Award-winning director. Finally, the book explores the very nature of artistic collaboration: how do songs actually get written, and what enables some partnerships to last for decades. Written for a wide range of readers, the book has a broad appeal that will extend from Maltby/Shire devotees to anyone interested in the creative process and Broadway musicals in general"-- |

Yet relatively little has been written about them and their work. In this book, composer/conductor/music journalist/Yale and NYU professor Joshua Rosenblum sets out to increase appreciation for Maltby and Shire's large and impressive body of work and establish their place in musical theater history. The book chronicles their six-decade partnership, giving full behind-the-scenes accounts of their musicals, interspersed with illuminating analyses of standout individual numbers. The two songwriters, engaging and articulate, are quoted liberally throughout the book in exclusive interviews. Additionally, the book covers other well-known artistic figures who feature prominently in the Maltby/Shire story, including Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Francis Ford Coppola, Craig Lucas, Mike Ockrent, Susan Stroman, John Weidman, Charles Strouse, Adam Gopnik, Jason Robert Brown, and Jonathan Tunick. Attention is also given to Shire's separate career as an Oscar- and Grammy-winning film and TV composer, and Maltby's as a Tony Award-winning director. Finally, the book explores the very nature of artistic collaboration: how do songs actually get written, and what enables some partnerships to last for decades. Written for a wide range of readers, the book has a broad appeal that will extend from Maltby/Shire devotees to anyone interested in the creative process and Broadway musicals in general"-- Shire, David 1937- (DE-588)122550374 gnd rswk-swf Maltby, Richard jun. 1937- (DE-588)12190010X gnd rswk-swf Shire, David Shire, David / Criticism and interpretation Maltby, Richard / Jr. / 1937- Maltby, Richard / Jr. / 1937- / Criticism and interpretation Musicals / United States / History and criticism Comédies musicales / États-Unis / Histoire et critique Musicals United States Criticism, interpretation, etc Maltby, Richard jun. 1937- (DE-588)12190010X p Shire, David 1937- (DE-588)122550374 p DE-604 Online version Rosenblum, Joshua Closer than ever [First edition] New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2024 9780197758250 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=035107420&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
