		Example: Johnny Burke and Bob Haggart's song "What s New?" Be on the lookout for such leads in everyday speech, ads, etc. If you're ambitious enough, you could look through what is called a dictionary of idioms, slang or sayings.

		The English composer Benjamin Britten is particularly famous for his settings of verse from many sources, for example, his Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.

		Swinging On A Star mostly deserved the standing ovation it received on opening night, and anyone who can appreciate musicians, singers and dancers of the highest caliber will appreciate the actors and instrumentalists in this show.
		Lyricist Johnny Burke is the reason director/writer Michael Leeds put this show together at the Goodspeed Opera House in Connecticut, where it began its trip to Broadway in 1995-'96.
		Of course, the Broadway musicals of the '20s and '30s could afford large casts and stage bands the size of a small orchestra.
