The previously unpublished autobiography and additional essays by
the orchestrator-composer of some of America's most important
musical theatre productions. The remarkable career of
composer-orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett [1894-1981]
encompassed a wide variety of both "legitimate" and popular
music-making in Hollywood, on Broadway, and for television. Bennett
is principally responsible for what is known worldwide as the
"Broadway sound" and for greatly elevating the status of the
theater orchestrator. He worked alongside Jerome Kern, Cole Porter,
George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers, and Frederick
Loewe on much of the Broadway canon, eventually providing
orchestrations for all or part of more than 300 musicals between
1920 and 1975. This work is the first publication of Bennett's
autobiography, which was written in thelate 1970s. It also includes
eight of his most important essays on the art of orchestration.
