	'George Gershwin: His Life and Work' by Howard Pollack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The "selected bibliography" at the end of Howard Pollack's new biography runs to eight pages, but it's hard to imagine that any previous study has been as thorough or as painstakingly researched and documented as this one.
		That is not to say that Pollack's work is the most compelling or readable.
		Pollack has the most information, although not necessarily the most biographical information, nor the deepest insights into Gershwin's character.

	Classical Net Review - Aaron Copland: The Life And Work Of An Uncommon Man
		Pollack's previously published writing includes Harvard Composers: Walter Piston And His Students, From Elliott Carter To Frederic Rzewski (which has a full chapter on Shapero's Symphony for Classical Orchestra, by the way) and Skyscraper Lullaby: The Life And Music Of John Alden Carpenter.
		Typically, Pollack writes about the origin of each work and gives a summary of positive and negative ctiticisms it occasioned, as well as perfomance and recording history, in some cases, in addition to his reading of the harmonic, rhythmic, contrapuntal and instrumental elements of the work.
		After that, Pollack writes what almost might be called biographical essays on various themes, which he carries through, narratively, as long as he needs to, chronologically.

	George Gershwin: His Life and Work, by Howard Pollack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Howard Pollack draws from a wealth of sketches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, books, articles, recordings, films, and other materials — including a large cache of Gershwin scores discovered in a Warner Brothers warehouse in 1982 — to create an expansive chronicle of Gershwin's meteoric rise to fame.
		Pollack's lively narrative describes Gershwin's family, childhood, and education; his early career as a pianist; his friendships and romantic life; his relation to various musical trends; his writings on music; his working methods; and his tragic death at the age of 38.
		Pollack concludes with an exploration of the performances and critical reception of Gershwin's music over the years, from his time to ours.

	ZOO AMPHITHEATRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Howard not only helped to renovate and updated the amphitheater, he was also instrumental in getting many of the city's civic-minded and growth-oriented companies and individuals to contribute a large portion of their time, money and energy towards the renovation project.
		By 1985, Howard Pollack's reputation had reached the point where he was approached by the world-renowned heart specialist, Dr. Christian Barnard, to spearhead a series of benefits for the Heart Foundation.
		Howard was asked to book and produce these concerts featuring some of the most successful artists in the world, including Frank Sinatra, Julio Iglesias, Pavarotti, and Bill Cosby.

	FORWARD : Arts & Letters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Howard Pollack subtitles his superb biography of Copland "The Life and Work of an Uncommon Man," hinting at ironies explored in the book in a sober and judicious manner that mirrors Copland's own public stance.
		Pollack, dealt with this encounter with his characteristic outward aplomb - giving the committee nothing, but never overtly challenging their inquisitional project - and yet it might be argued that Copland never found his artistic balance afterwards.
		Pollack, a historian of American music at the University of Houston, has therefore been able to tell many of the stories that Copland left out.

	Fascinating schism - The Boston Globe
		Yet many readers who might profit from Pollack's insights will be daunted by the sheer bulk of his book, which is not for the faint of heart or thin of wrist.
		The life that occupies the first quarter is organized not sequentially but thematically under headings such as "Gershwin and His Family" and "Working Methods." Disregarding chronology obscures Gershwin's development as a person, while separating the life from the work makes it difficult to trace his development as an artist.
		Pollack's structure also creates redundancies that recall the eternally rewinding film "Groundhog Day." Gershwin dies in the preface and yet again in Chapters 1, 6, 11, and elsewhere.

	Amazon.com: George Gershwin: His Life and Work: Books: Howard Pollack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Pollack's book is, for one, the first Gershwin bio that takes advantage of the discovery of mountains of original orchestra parts for Golden Age musical theatre scores in a Secaucus warehouse in the early eighties.
		Pollack's sleuthing and interviews conclusively demonstrate that these evaluations were incorrect: Gershwin pursued serious musical training throughout his life, it shows in his work, and socially, he was a beloved, charming person who was deeply mourned at his death.
		Pollack briefly addresses objections to that thesis from some quarters since Peyser's book was published -- but, in my view, neglects the rather damning facts that 1) said love child looks exactly like Gershwin and 2)was supported in his claim to have made regular visits to Gershwin's apartment by none other than Gershwin's valet.

		Pollack follows Copland's development from the early pieces written when Copland was a student of Nadia Boulanger in Paris to his later 12-tone scores that alienated the public and many critics.

		Howard Pollack draws from a wealth of sketches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, books, articles, recordings, films, and other materials--including a large cache of Gershwin scores discovered in a Warner Brothers warehouse in 1982--to create an expansive chronicle of Gershwin's classic rags to riches story.
		Pollack concludes with a perceptive consideration of the important role Gershwin's music plays in our own time, both at home and abroad.
		Pollack treats Gershwin as primarily a composer for the theater and therefore focuses on the many forms theater music may assume.

		Pollack also mined the wealth of sources in the Copland collection at the Library of Congress, which became available after the composer's death in 1990.
		Pollack continually places Copland in relation to the people and events around him, an approach that is especially appropriate for a composer who defied artistic isolation.
		Pollack exposes the ``paradoxes,'' as he puts it, of the gentle powerhouse who dominated American musical life for most of the 20th century.

	Aaron Copland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In this exhaustive study, Pollack (Walter Piston) offers a compelling look at a composer whose output included much more than the ballet scores so familiar to the general public, such as Billy the Kid, Rodeo and Appalachian Spring.
		Pollack follows Copland's development from the early pieces written when Copland was a student of Nadia Boulanger in Paris to his later 12-tone scores that alienated the public and many critics.
		Pollack captures the spirit of Copland's music in words, as when he compares the 1926 Concerto for Piano and Orchestra to a "mobile" in which "separate but related ideas appear and reappear in various combinations."

		Since all these friendships had an influence on Copland's creative life it is unfortunate that his extended correspondence with Kraft has been withdrawn.
		Some have said that Copland might have been happier with a more permanent partnership than his intermittent promiscuous young men provided, so it may be possible to see the strong vein of loneliness that seems to suffuse his slower music as a personal reflection.
		Pollack provides plentiful detail about the films and relates them to concert works derived from such scores.

		Howard Pollack's weighty tome, Copland: The Life and Work of an Uncommon Man, provides a unique perspective on American music.
		Pollack gives two reasons for this offering: his dissatisfaction with Copland scholarshiop, and a desire to examine Copland's life in a "more contextual study" (x).
		Despite Pollack's stated desire to use fewer technical terms, his descriptions of compositions require that readers either be familiar with musical terminology or skim such passages as beyond his/her understanding.
