Excellent lists so far! Love yours, Dan!
Favourite songs 1900-1949
After checking some of the wonderful recommendations on
this thread (everyone's but especially Dan's and sonofsamiam's), after listening again to the list I posted back in 2010 (and realizing that I still like it a lot, you can check this original list
here) and after thinking quite a lot about it I've finally decided to post more or less the same list (with some minor changes). In 2010 I pre-selected four songs of different styles with 25 songs each (Classical, World Music, American Folk and Jazz) and I mixed them all into the main list. Now I've included some changes, exactly 10 songs (most of them influenced by the lists posted so far in this thread but some of them by the last year Classical Poll), you can see these changes after the main list.
1.
SERGEY PROKOFIEV "Romeo and Juliet, Suite No. 2 for Orchestra: I. Montagues and Capulets" (1936, #50 in my all-time list)
The introduction of the piece "Montagues and Capulets" from the "Romeo and Juliet" Suite for Orchestra (not on the "Dance of the Knights" of the original music for the ballet) builds from silence climaxing quickly into an impressive dissonant orchestral chord. A friend of mine used to say that this chord "contains all the music in the world". Maybe he was true but for me the real highlight is that dramatic ascending and descending melody played by the string section over an ominous march rhythm sustained by the double basses and horns. The sounds of the tragedy.
2.
BILLIE HOLIDAY "Strange Fruit" (1939, #63)
The best song of the first half of the XX Century according to AM Forum (on the 2010 poll) is this protest song that portrays solemnly the lynching of black people in America. And that's because it represents like no other song the soul of the African American people, this immeasurable sadness that sums decades and centuries of suffering and injustice. Everyone would file this song under the label of
Jazz but it surely got this thing that it's called the
Blues.
3.
JUDY GARLAND "Over the Rainbow" (1939, #66)
Yes, I know, it's a children's song, a lullaby. But, since my first conscious exposition to it was as part of the stage show "Flowers" directed by Lindsay Kemp (that I saw in 1980 when I was 14 years old) where it was sung by a blind black drag-queen dressed in rags (played by Jack Birkett) and surrounded by transvestites, whores and pimps, the song despite its naivete and sweetness always comes to me as twisted and bizarre. And that’s what it’s not. Or maybe yes? Or maybe there is no innocence without perversion?
4.
DJANGO REINHARDT (QUINTETTE DU HOT CLUB DE FRANCE) "Nuages" (1941, #112)
1985, Place de Montmartre, Paris, a twenty-year old Honorio with a group of friends from the University on a summer trip. While my friends were being portraited by street painters I ventured into a dark Café when two guitar players played Jazz. I asked them to play "Nuages" and they quickly attacked it in a quite routinary but impeccable manner (probably they played it before a thousand times). "Nuages" is the sound of Paris to me.
5.
LOTTE LENYA "Seeräuberjenny" (1931, #113)
"Pirate Jenny" struck a young Bob Dylan when he saw Lotte Lenya in the show "Brecht on Brecht" in a Greenwich Village theatre in 1962. "This piece left you flat on your back and it demanded to be taken seriously. It lingered," he said in his "Chronicles," "it wasn't a protest or topical song and there was no love on it." He decided to experiment his own songwriting "totally influenced by 'Pirate Jenny.'. Now we know why "When the Ship Comes In" or "The Times They Are A-Changin'" got no love on it too.
6.
CHARLIE PARKER SEPTET "A Night in Tunisia" (1946, #134)
Bebop. Every music style must generate a sub-style destined to avoid its trivialization and decadence. That was bebop for Jazz. White audiences and musicians tempered the primitive pulse of original Jazz. Bebop musicians returned the black to Jazz, with jungle rhythmic patterns (Gillespie used Latin rhythms when he wrote "Night in Tunisia") and a wild and even arrogant velocity (listen to the demonically fast Parker "famous alto break" at 1'18").
7.
CARLOS GARDEL "Mano a mano" (1923, #148)
Argentinian tango was originally an instrumental style that accompanied a sensual dance born in the brothels of Buenos Aires. And that’s the way is still considered in anglo-saxon countries. Shamely because the lyrics on the "vocal" tango were outstanding. Poets like Discépolo, Castillo, Manzi or Le Pera wrote desperate stories about the love misfortunes in a rich dialect, the
lunfardo, difficult to fully understand it even for a Spanish native.
8.
LOUIS JORDAN and HIS TYMPANY FIVE "Five Guys Named Moe" (1942, #195)
Jump! Never a music style was named so appropriately. Some years ago I bought a compilation of Louis Jordan looking for his widely known "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" but I became addicted to the first song on that CD, an irresistible uptempo comic number called "Five Guys Named Moe". Those five guys, Big Moe, Little Moe, Four-Eyed Moe, No Moe and Eat Moe, you know, when they start to beat it out / everybody jump and shout. Including me.
9.
GLENN MILLER and HIS ORCHESTRA "Moonlight Serenade" (1939, #235)
I don’t remember the exact reason why Miller had to rearrange the main melody for a lead clarinet but I remember a scene on the movie "The Glenn Miller Story" writing it in a hurry just before the premiere. Anyway it was a master move, the sound of clarinets and muted trumpets gave it a dreamy atmosphere, like the opening of a door getting you back in time, to a period where young couples in love danced slowly to the sound coming from an old radio.
10.
ROBERT JOHNSON "Crossroad Blues" (1936, #250)
That's where it all began. On a crossroad. At midnight. Somewhere on the Mississippi Delta. Robert Johnson had a meeting with the Devil. Johnson sold his soul to the Devil and in exchange he could play the guitar like no one else. And more important, since that moment he got the blues. The blues gave place to rock and roll, and the message of the Devil has been transmitted to successive generations. Some say that in that crossroad Johnson simply met someone that showed him the basic chords of blues. Anyway, it's the same, isn’t it?

Note: I've included on the Spotify playlists the first recording of the Classical works (if available). So you can listen there to Sergei Prokofiev or Maurice Ravel themselves conducting the first recordings of "Romeo and Juliet Suite No.2" or "Boléro," and to Sergei Rachmaninoff playing the piano part of his own "Piano Concert No.2." The sound quality is obviously lower than in posterior recordings but, beside the historical importance, the contrast with the original recordings of other styles on the playlist is not too striking. But in some cases (Debussy's "Clair de Lune" for instance) I could find information on Internet about which was the first recording.
Next… 1900-1959 albums!!
