| Summary: | "David Braham (1834-1905) was the musical director for the famous vaudeville team of Harrigan and Hart, writing music for their comic songs, including "The Mulligan Guards," "Paddy Duffy's Cart," and many more. By combining influences from minstrelsy, the parlor song tradition, European operetta, folk music, ragtime, and the military band tradition, he established a new style of Broadway musical. Scrupulously researched, engagingly written, and containing never-before-published photographs of the Braham family this book is the definitive work on Braham and will appeal to historians, scholars, and all fans interested in the history of musical theater."--Jacket. |
