 Leonard Bernstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Leonard Bernstein (August 25, 1918 - October 14, 1990) was an Jewish - American composer and orchestra conductor.
Bernstein was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts and studied at Harvard.
Bernstein's personal life was marked by anguish over the tradeoff between a conductor's glory and a composer's productivity, the ridicule invited by his impassioned political activism, the conflict between his devotion to his family and his bisexuality, and bouts of depression suffered in his later years.

Bernstein's score was much admired, however, and one of the most attractive numbers, "Glitter and Be Gay," was sung with great effect by Barbara Cook, one year before her Broadway triumph in Meredith Willson's "The Music Man." "Candide" has been revived continually since 1956, at least twice by producer Hal Prince.
Bernstein's music was not eligible for an award because it had not been written for the screen.
Among Bernstein's many other works was the score for the Marlon Brando movie, ON THE WATERFRONT (1954), for which he was nominated for an Oscar; a jazz piece, "Prelude, Fugue and Riffs," premiered on U.S. television by Benny Goodman in 1955; and "My Twelve Tone Melody" written for Irving Berlin's 100th birthday in 1988.
