Performance Notes
George M. Cohan (1878-1942) was an American entertainer, playwright, composer, lyricist, actor, singer, danger and produces, basically a showman in every sense of the word. Cohan is said to have “owned Broadway”, and quite a few of the charts in this arrangement bear references to this.
Cohan’s works are readily accessible, so it is up to the performed to look for recordings of the above listed charts, and decide wether this arrangement is worth buying. Martinet, as always, does a great job at grouping the pieces together, so this is a perfect item to include in a more light-music oriented concert. That is not to say it won’t be popular in a concert of any other kind. You really can’t go wrong with Cohan classics.
