Strike Up the Band (song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Strike Up the Band (song) "Strike Up the Band" is a 1927 song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was written for the 1927 musical ''Strike Up the Band'', where it formed part of a satire on war and militaristic music. Although the musical was not successful, the instrumental version of the song, titled the "March from ''Strike Up the Band''", has become quite well known. ==UCLA== In 1936, UCLA students were looking for a new rally tune. George and Ira Gershwin had moved from New York to Beverly Hills to work in Los Angeles on the Fred Astaire movie ''Shall We Dance''. Maxson Judell, a music industry contact, approached them about contributing a song to UCLA.〔Gordon, Larry - (At 81, tune is a hit at Big Dance ). Los Angeles Times, March 20, 2008. George and Ira Gershwin originally wrote the tune for 'Strike Up the Band for UCLA' in 1927.〕 The Gershwins made a gift of the song to the University of California, Los Angeles. Ira Gershwin revised the lyrics and called the new version "Strike Up the Band for UCLA."〔(Strike Up the Band at UCLA ) - The UCLA History Project (ucla.edu)〕 From that time, it became one of the primary school songs, and even served as the leitmotif and rally song for the school teams until Sons of Westwood and later Mighty Bruins became school songs.〔 The UCLA Band currently plays an arrangement of "Strike Up the Band for UCLA" as part of each UCLA Bruins football pregame show and at home basketball games.〔 The George and Ira Gershwin Award is presented annually at UCLA during "Spring Sing" at Pauley Pavilion or at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on campus. Recipients have included Frank Sinatra, Clive Davis, Stevie Wonder, k.d. lang, James Taylor, Kenneth Babyface Edmonds, Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Lionel Richie, Julie Andrews and Brian Wilson.〔(Spring Sing – Gershwin Award ), UCLA Alumni Association, March, 2011〕
