330 .. $a The music of Alec Wilder (1907-1980) blends several American musical traditions, such
as jazz and the American popular song, with classical European forms and techniques.
Stylish and accessible, Wilder's musical oeuvre ranged from sonatas, suites, concertos,
operas, ballets, and art songs to woodwind quintets, brass quintets, jazz suites,
and hundreds of popular songs. Wilder enjoyed a close musical kinship with a wide
variety of musicians, including classical conductors such as Erich Leinsdorf, Frederick
Fennell, and Gunther Schuller; jazz musicians Marian McPartland, Stan Getz, and Zoot
Sims; and popular singers including Frank Sinatra, Mabel Mercer, Peggy Lee, and Tony
Bennett. In this biography and critical investigation of Wilder's music, Philip Lambert
chronicles Wilder's early work as a part-time student at the Eastman School of Music,
his ascent through the ranks of the commercial recording industry in New York City
in the 1930s and 1940s, his turn toward concert music from the 1950s onward, and his
devotion late in his life to the study of American popular songs of the first half
of the twentieth century. The book discusses some of his best-known music, such as
the revolutionary octets and songs such as "I'll Be Around," "While We're Young,"
and "Blackberry Winter," and explains the unique blend of cultivated and vernacular
traditions in his singular musical language [Publisher description]
