What looked like a kid from Mogilev, who wrote the anthem of America
Bashny.Net
"God Bless America" - unofficial nationalism. This song was written by the famous composer Irwin Berlin while serving in the United States. What is most interesting is that Irvine comes from Mogilev province. He was born there in 1888 and his real name is Israel Moiseevich Beilin.
GettyImages Anthem of America During his life, Irwin wrote more than one and a half thousand songs. Among them were Jewish songs in Yiddish, as well as American jazz, gospel, and even folk anthems. The anthems sang the most important American values - loyalty to family, home land and people.
GettyImages In most cases, Irwin wrote the lyrics for the songs himself. However, for the song "God Bless America," he took ideological passages from other sources and edited them competently.
The title of the song translates to “God Bless America.” Every self-respecting American knows the lyrics to this song by heart. The song is the second American anthem after the Star-Spangled Banner.
By the way, Berlin first sat down at the piano when he was 45 years old. At first, he did not know music and had no education - only two classes of an ordinary school. However, this guy managed to develop his talent and become successful. At first, he played only black keys, so Weser Bros made a piano specifically for him, which transposes melodies to a different tone. This composer felt music like no one else - he had a real talent.
GettyImages First song "God Bless America" Irwin wrote for the Broadway show "Hip Hip Yafank!" However, during the Second World War, the composition acquired a more patriotic character and suddenly for everyone was in demand. Her words encouraged soldiers in battle at the front and on their return home.
American composer Jerome Kern also said that “it is impossible to talk about Irving Berlin’s place in the history of American music, because he himself is this story!” A simple guy from Mogilev in Belarus became a great American composer. He made a great contribution to the culture of the United States, and also lived a bright creative life. The composer died when he was 101 years old in a dream - they say that this is how the righteous go. Bright memory of the greatest genius Irwin Berlin!
