Additional info/contents	The American composer and pianist George Gershwin (1898 - 1937) composed not only serious music but also a lot of light music (think of his "Piano Concerto", "American in Paris" and "Porgy and Bess"). He wrote many songs that are still part of the repertoire today. Three of them were selected by Wil van der Beek and adapted for performance by Flex 4. In terms of difficulty, they are in the upper range of our "Young Band / Flexible Line-Up" series. "Scandal Walk", for the George White Scandals (Broadway Revues) of 1920, George Gershwin and Arthur Jackson (lyricist) created a scandal song about a scandal dance. Most self-referential dance songs introduce the world to a new dance step, but "Scandal Walk" is more about gossip than choreography. "The Man I Love" is the most famous of these 3 songs with lyrics by his brother Ira. The song, which was part of Gershwin's 1924 musical comedy "Oh, Lady Be Good," was cut from that show and included in the 1927 satire Strike Up the Band (where it appears as "The Man I Love" and "The Girl I Love"). "Swanee" was written by Gershwin in 1919, with lyrics by Irving Caesar. The song was also written for a New York revue called Demi-Tasse, which premiered at the Capitol Theater in October 1919. It was written in part as a parody of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home." This adaptation is musical only, the lyrics are not used.
