The classic American popular song repertoire consists of approximately 800 to 1,000 songs composed from 1924 to 1950 by such major songwriters as Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Richard Rodgers, who wrote elegant and expressive music that incorporated idiomatic, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic patterns which had general appeal to a large audience. The lyrics (texts) of the songs most often celebrating a universal human experience, love-are of consistently high quality. Each of this repertoire's songs has a uniquely memorable character determined by a special rhythm and harmony, by a distinctive melodic figure, or by the unusual semantics of the lyrics as they relate to other aspects of the music. But perhaps the most characteristic feature of each song is its harmony, a simple, yet sophisticated, instance of which is Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight," with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, 1936 winner of the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry's Academy Award for Best Song. Its characteristic harmonic feature occurs in the middle section, which is in a key (Gb) remote from the main key of the song (Eb). The classic American popular song comprises a remarkable repertoire that lives on in contemporary live performances and recordings, often reflecting the tradition of variation, harmonic and melodic enhancement that began with the absorption of the songs into contemporary musical practice, the "classicizing" process so characteristic of the music of many different cultures.
