The Masterwork Chorus of the Palm Beaches Presents the Great American Songbook

The Great American Songbook is a collection of songs thought of as timeless pieces of music about love and heartbreak that have become familiar through many decades. Vocal artists have sung them throughout the years, and each one puts their own tempo and style into the song and lyrics. The songs are recognizable because they have been with us from the 1920s through the 1960s and have been heard continuously ever since. American sing-along pop music’s heart includes songs such as “Summertime” by George Gershwin and “Moon River” by Johnny Mercer. Judy Garland made the song “Over the Rainbow” famous in The Wizard of Oz, and the song remains an American favorite. Every generation finds a connection with the familiar American songs with ballad lyrics that tell the story of life and love. Some are the most recognized tunes from well-known Broadway plays like “To Dream the Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha. The Masterworks Chorus will take these beloved American songs to the stage at the Royal Poinciana Chapel on May 18^th at 7 PM.
