Program Description

Event Details

Join us for part 2 of this lecture. We're all familiar with many outstanding songs from the early days of Rock and Roll such as Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender, Jackie Wilson's Night and Where or When by Dion and the Belmonts. What is less known and often little appreciated is that the melodies for those songs as well as many others recorded during the 50s and 60s were written decades or in some cases centuries earlier and have their roots in classical music, grand opera or Broadway shows. During this presentation we will  have an opportunity to relive a dozen or so examples of songs in this category. No registration is needed.
