  Serenade/A Cavalcade of Show Tunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comprising the soundtrack album from the film Serenade, and the LP A Cavalcade of Show Tunes, the CD also includes a previously unreleased version of the song Serenade by Nicholas Brodszky and Sammy Cahn.
An entirely different song from the one featured in the actual film of Serenade, this recording is noteworthy for its difficult tessitura, including a number of high B naturals.
The CD concludes with the 1956 album A Cavalcade of Show Tunes, arranged and conducted by Henri Rene.

Show Tunes are the songs that have been featured in musical plays and films.
He toured with the show during the early '80s, and Barnum's popularity was the decisive factor in Andrew Lloyd Webber's casting of him opposite Sarah Brightman in The Phantom of the Opera in 1986.
The show was a hit, and Patinkin won an Emmy Award, but he left the program early in its second season largely due to family considerations; now married and having started a family, he was based in New York, while the show filmed in Los Angeles.

 Amazon.com: Show Boat (1993 Toronto Revival Cast): Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Show Boat suffered only from the lack of sophisticated recording techniques to preserve the original performances, although Helen Morgan (who played the mulatto Julie) later recorded her signature song "Bill." Three movie versions and countless stage revivals kept Show Boat alive and popular--although bowdlerized--for almost 50 years without a definitive recording.
This recording of SHOW BOAT is one of the more satisfying out of the myriad of cast albums that exist for this score.
SHOW BOAT, as critic Ethan Mordden points out, is a musical that must constantly be reinterpreted and rediscovered for each successive audience, and this 1993 recording reflects that thinking.

 The Music That Americans Loved 100 Years Ago--Tin Pan Alley, Broadway Show Tunes, Ragtime (and Related "Coon Songs"), ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Broadway show tunes, ragtime (and related "coon songs"), marches, vocal numbers on sheet music ranging from sentimental ballads to comic songs--these categories broadly cover what Americans listened to a century ago, let's say from 1895 to 1905.
Male quartet arrangements were popular, with tunes often sung by a vocal ensemble consisting of a first tenor (the highest pitch), second tenor (usually the leading voice), baritone, and bass.
Important were such shows as A Trip to Chinatown (1892), from which the popular song "The Bowery" emerged; Wang (1892), with De Wolf Hopper heading the cast; Robin Hood (1890) and Rob Roy (1894), both with music by Reginald De Koven; and El Capitan (1896), with a score by John Philip Sousa.

Crude American Variety and Minstrel Shows eventually gave way to the more refined pleasures of Vaudeville -- and the rowdy spirit of Burlesque.
The comic operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan (1871-1896) were witty, tuneful and exquisitely produced – leading to new standards of theatrical production.
Composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim and director Hal Prince refocused the genre in the 1970s by introducing concept musicals – shows built around an idea rather than a traditional plot.

 j. - Mamaloschen musicale — CDs bring give new life to classic Yiddish show tunes
Tracks like the tango-flavored “Oygn” and “Abi Gezunt,” show Ellstein (and his frequent lyricist Molly Picon) was comfortable with the Broadway idiom.
The music is glorious, while Yiddish, as sung on this set, shows itself to be a truly expressive and easy-on-the ear language.
Billy Crystal once called Yiddish a language of “hocking and spitting.” Funny line, but as this album proves, his view of the mamaloschen as a dead language is dead wrong.

 Jerome Kern : Classic Movie & Show Tunes from Rare Piano Rolls - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Part of the Biograph Records Presents The Great American Composer Series, this short (32 minutes) album consists of eight selections in which piano rolls originally played by Lawrence Cook, Victor Arden, Paul Jouard, and Dick Watson have been newly recorded by using a Steinway Duo-Art Pianola Grand piano.
The tunes includ "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "The Way You Look Tonight," and a medley of songs from Show Boat.
One is accustomed to hearing Jerome Kern's melodies played in orchestral arrangements and accompanying singers, so these sprightly, if spare performances present a new way to hear the composer and, one presumes, in a style nearly contemporary to their compositions.

After several waning years, networks are finding that a familiar tune can help separate a series from the pack when dozens of options are vying for attention.
NBC added musical "anchors" to all of its new shows, commissioning new music from members of such acts as The Goo Goo Dolls ("Good Morning Miami") and Tonic ("American Dreams"), and recording a cover of the Monkees' hit "Pleasant Valley Sunday" ("Hidden Hills").
As Thompson suggests, the songs serve as a carnival barker in getting viewers "into" a show; from there, it's up to the program to survive.

 The Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News - 29-Jan-06 - ‘The Daily Show’ tunes in for Granite State primary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
This time around, “The Daily Show,” host Jon Stewart and its on-air comedians-turned-correspondents command a respect among media types and politicians alike that belies the fact that the show — as Stewart himself points out a lot — is on “basic cable.”
Colbert said “The Daily Show” staff is here in New Hampshire this weekend “to get some idea from the people who are really covering it what their take is on the different candidates, and how they see the next year laying out.”
For the uninitiated: “The Daily Show” is a half-hour mock news show, complete with anchorman Stewart, real video clips from the day’s news, and reports from correspondents “on location.” There’s also a nightly guest, who is as likely to be a starlet promoting her latest movie as a Presidential candidate or television anchorman.

 PUNK ROCK SHOW TUNES
Galaxie album, which is ballad/ethereal-heavy and showing the strain of a band pulling apart in the face of, shall we say, disparate levels of ambition, and that many of the tracks were recorded quite some time before this compilation was presumably conceived of, it ends up seeming a bit tossed together.
Very blank, nervous, eccentric vocals; drums that brought the concept of ‘behind the beat’ to a new level of free jazz; guitars that were roughly in tune with each other, but not aligned with the normal frequencies or strumming patterns of anyone else in the universe.
From the huge orchestral flourish that opens "The Dark Is Rising", to the very high, wispy vocals that occur on the song, this is a band that shows its hand from the get-go.

Take the plot, for example: this tired, corruption-within-the-police-force story was once a staple of cop shows and movies, and it has long since become a cliché.
For fans of the TV series hoping for a little dose of nostalgia, there is something of the "feel" of the show, but absence of the original trio dampens its effectiveness.
For everyone else, this is the kind of movie that isn't even worth renting when it comes out on video because, with the possible exception of Michael Lerner and Omar Epps dancing to show tunes, you've seen it all before.
