Charles Leslie Johnson
Zen Virtual PianoでCharles Leslie Johnsonのピアノ楽譜を見つけましょう。 Charles Leslie Johnson was playing a neighbor’s piano by age six and began studying classical piano, harmony and music theory a few years later. Although he had classical training, he always preferred the popular music of the day. He became proficient on guitar, violin, banjo and mandolin as well, and as a young man he took part in several local groups in the Kansas City music scene. A classical training that stood beside a lifelong taste for the popular tunes of the day left him with two ways of hearing music. In the late 1890s he began work for the J. W. Jenkins and Sons Music Company in Kansas City, Missouri, plugging songs and playing piano, and over the next five years Jenkins published twelve of his songs. By 1907 he had formed his own publishing company, putting out his own music and that of other local composers; he also did vanity publishing for others, often writing music for their lyrics or simply arranging their compositions. Plugging songs at the piano may have given him a working sense of what a tune needs to catch a listener. He composed waltzes, tangos, cakewalks, marches, novelty pieces and other kinds of music popular at the time, and had a remarkable ability to reflect the needs and trends of the time. A clear example was his war pieces: he wrote pieces for the Spanish–American War, World War I and World War II, most of them, nearly twenty, answering the patriotism of American soldiers in World War I, among them “Be a Pilgrim (And Not a Ram)” and “We Are All in the Same Boat Now.” Titles such as “Be a Pilgrim (And Not a Ram)” and “We Are All in the Same Boat Now” read like slogans, which suits music meant for a patriotic moment. He was born in Kansas City, Kansas, died in Kansas City, Missouri, and lived his entire life in those two cities. A whole life in two cities set beside a range of styles from waltzes to war songs suggests a wide repertoire built from close to home.
