A history the first ever of the abundant traditions of GermanAmerican musical theater in New York, and a treasure trove of songs and information.Nineteenthcentury New York was, after Berlin and Vienna, the third largest Germanpopulated city in the world. Germanlanguage musical plays and light operas held an important niche in the lives of German immigrants and their families. John Koegel's Music in German Immigrant Theater: New York City, 18401940, tells, for the first time, the engrossing story of these theater works, and the many musical numbers from them that became popular as separate songs.Koegel documents performances, in German, of plays by Shakespeare and Goethe and operas by Offenbach, Verdi, and Johann Strauss. And he draws longneeded attention to GermanAmerican musical comedies written, beginning in the 1890s, by ethnic parodist Adolf Philipp. As their titles suggest Der Corner Grocer aus der Avenue A and Der Pawnbroker von der Eastside these musicals related directly to the daily experiences of theimmigrant population.Music in German Immigrant Theater is enriched by copious photographs, sheetmusic title pages, and musical examples, as well as numerous sets of song lyrics some uproarious, others touching in German and in English translation. The accompanying CD includes recordings of many of the songs discussed in the book.John Koegel is Professor of Musicology at California State University, Fullerton. WINNER 2009 ForeWord Reviews' Book of the Year Award, music category.
