Zen Virtual PianoでKerry Millsのピアノ楽譜を見つけましょう。 Frederick Allen Mills was born in Philadelphia less than five years after the end of the Civil War, to Frederick Mills and Annie Lund, and he had two sisters. At eight he started music study, concentrating first on the violin because his father wished it. A boy who began the violin at his father's wish suggests that music was an early commitment for him, one made at his father's wish. A scholarship around 1887 took him to the Chicago Musical College, directed by Florenz Ziegfeld, Sr., where he stayed through at least 1892 and, for the last two years, also taught. Back in Detroit he taught the violin and played concerts, and in 1892 the University School of Music in Ann Arbor hired him; by his own later account he headed its violin department. A scholarship student who rose to teach at the school and then at a university suggests a classical background far from the dance music that later made his name, and a teacher's habits of discipline that may have carried into his publishing business. Annoyed at how publishers treated him, and drawn to this lively new form more than to the classical music he played, Mills went to New York City in 1895 and founded his own company. There the firm F. A. Mills and the composer Kerry Mills, a variant of a nickname for Frederick, were born together. Bankruptcy struck the firm in 1915; Maurice Richmond bought it and resold many of its songs. A new name for the composer and a new company launched on the same move coincides with the arrival in New York, as if a second career began there with a fresh identity. The cakewalk Mills wrote in 1897 became the admired model for the form, turning it into the first real dance sensation of New York's Tin Pan Alley. Elijah Wald calls him one of the first writers to publish syncopated melodies. From 1899 some of his cakewalks were recorded on cylinders and discs, among them versions by the banjoist Vess L. Ossman and by John Philip Sousa's band; the historian Galen Wilkes notes that Whistling Rufus was probably recorded far more often early in the century than At a Georgia Campmeeting. His list also gained George M. Cohan, who began publishing his songs with Mills, and the song Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis became almost instantly a national hit. Mills had one last moment of fame in 1944 when his song Meet Me in St. Louis became the title and theme of an MGM film directed by Vincent Minnelli and starring Judy Garland. A publisher whose lists included a successful stage songwriter and whose own songs came back decades later in a film suggests a composer whose tunes lasted well beyond his firm, even as the business itself did not.
