翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク The Ballad of Rodger Young ： ウィキペディア英語版 The Ballad of Rodger Young ''The Ballad of Rodger Young'' is an American war song by Frank Loesser, written and first performed during World War II in March 1945. The ballad is an elegy for Army Private Rodger Wilton Young, who died after rushing a Japanese machine-gun nest on 31 July 1943, and is largely based on the citation for Young's posthumous Medal of Honor. ==Writing and composition== Loesser wrote the ''Ballad of Rodger Young'' while enlisted as a private in the Army's Radio Production Unit, a unit staffed with top Hollywood talent and equipped with a dedicated orchestra, whose task it was to produce two radio recruiting shows a day.〔Riis, p. 7.〕 There, Loesser was charged with editing song sheets and writing songs designed to aid in recruitment. How Loesser came about to write the song is not entirely clear.〔Jones (2006), p. 158, notes that it is "shrouded in ... legends" who asked Loesser to write it.〕 There is some agreement among sources that the Army asked Loesser to write, in his daughter's words, "a 'proper' infantry song", but according to others the request came from E. J. Kahn Jr., an infantry public relations officer and friend of Loesser's.〔Jones (2006), p. 158〕〔Marmorstein, p.181.〕 Loesser decided to write the song about a Medal of Honor recipient, so he obtained a list of awardees and searched them for a name that would scan.〔Loesser, p. 51.〕 After dismissing many "wonderfully unwieldy melting-pot names",〔 Loesser found "the perfect WASP name" at the end of the list: Rodger Young. Later, when the Army mounted a publicity campaign for the song, Loesser was asked for background material. As it would not have been politic to say that he chose Rodger Young simply because the name sounded good, Loesser agreed to publish a fictitious story about how he was told of Young's musical experience by the noted harmonica player Larry Adler.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ballad of Rodger Young」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
