Alan Jay Lerner

Born: 1918. Died: 1986. Lived in: United States

(born Aug. 31, 1918, New York, N.Y., U.S. - died June 14, 1986, New York City) U.S. librettist and lyricist. Born to a prosperous retailing family, he studied at Juilliard and Harvard. He wrote more than 500 radio scripts between 1940 and 1942, the year he met the composer Frederick Loewe. The two began collaborating, and their first Broadway success came with Brigadoon (1947; film, 1954). It was followed by Paint Your Wagon (1951; film, 1969). My Fair Lady (1956) was an unprecedented triumph, setting a record for the longest original run of any musical; the film version (1964) won seven Academy Awards. Their film musical Gigi (1958) received nine Academy Awards. Camelot followed in 1960 (film, 1967). Lerner also collaborated with Kurt Weill (Love Life, 1948) and Burton Lane (On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, 1965; film, 1970), among others. His film scripts include An American in Paris (1951, Academy Award).

On a Clear Day : SATB : Kirby Shaw : Sheet Music : 00-51076 : 038081581132

Kirby Shaw : On a Clear Day

Kirby Shaw's samba treatment of this stage and screen standard is truly unique! Despite the brisk tempo, held notes lock in tight vocal jazz chords, and a few staggered entrances provide textural interest. After a signature add-on stacks the voices into three independent layers, the arrangement clears the way for a syncopated scat riff at the end of the coda. SoundPax includes four horns and rhythm.
