I am looking for information on George Gershwin's music, spcifically his compositional techniques. I am doing an analysis on "The Man I Love" and would like to find some websites or other information on Gershwin's music. Our choir director said something about Gershwin's chord progressions "matching" the words in the song. I'm not quite sure what he meant and he doesn't have a music education to explain it to me. I have had three semesters of college Music Theory & Ear Training classes. I can do the roman numeral analysis. I would like to know if he had favorite chord progressions, certain compositional techniques, etc.
Thank-you,
Mollie
