Lerner and Loewe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lerner and Loewe were a "songwriting team" known for their successful work in American music theater in the 1940s and 1950s.
The much younger Alan Jay Lerner learned Frederick Loewe in 1942, two years after graduating from Harvard University know. Their collaboration began for the musical Life of the Party . From then on, Lerner wrote the books and lyrics, Loewe composed the music. They became famous with My Fair Lady . In addition to Rodgers and Hammerstein , they had a decisive influence on the character and development of the musical. There were differences over the work on Camelot and the partnership ended - Loewe also retired for health reasons - until a renewed collaboration with Lerner at the beginning of the 1970s.

Learner about Loewe, “There will never be another Fritz. Writing will never again be as much fun. A collaboration as intense as ours inescapably had to be complex. But I loved him more than I understood or misunderstood him, and I know he loved me more than he understood or misunderstood me. "
