Dialogue from Irving Berlin: A Daughter's Memoir by Mary Ellin Barrett
Orchestration and Vocal Arrangements by Donald Johnston
Conceived by Karen Baker |

Over a period of five decades, Berlin's outpouring of ballads, dance numbers, novelty
tunes and love songs defined American popular music. This revue was developed at
the distinguished Trinity School in New York City and introduced hundreds of high
school kids to the work of a man whose name was only familiar to some as the composer
of 'God Bless America.' As this new generation learned the story of the Russian
Immigrant who started as a singing waiter at a saloon on the Bowery, they became
increasingly exhilarated with the discovery of each new song. They also found in
Berlin's marriage a compelling, contemporary love story. From Tin Pan Alley to Broadway,
from Hollywood to tours of duty throughout Europe and the Pacific, the story of
Irving Berlin is the story of this American century.
