This site was created in memory of Harry Warren, one of the greatest American composers of the 20th century. His music touched the lives of many people, young and not quite so young, and yet very few people associate his name with his music. The intent of this web site is to familiarize people with the music of this great composer and give him greater recognition with the general public, and also to help get people interested in good melodic music again. Please feel free to browse this entire site with the links above or below to listen to (and perhaps sing) hundreds of Harry's wonderful melodies. There are over 700 exclusive hand-made MIDI sound files here, many of which you will be familiar with, many of which you won't be familiar with (but should)!</b></font><b><font face="Verdana" size="5"><br> <br> </font><font face="Verdana" size="3">The tune that should be heard playing in the background is one of Harry Warren's loveliest, obviously inspired by Puccini, an untitled instrumental love theme he wrote for use in the movie "Forty-Second Street" (1933). This was said to be the first melody Harry Warren heard played live by a Hollywood orchestra and he actually burst into tears when Leo Forbstein gave the downbeat to the Vitaphone orchestra and they started playing it.</font><font face="Verdana" size="4"><br> <br> </font></b></font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana"> <img border="0" src="images/harryoscar.jpg" width="254" height="344"><br> <br> <b><font size="3">Harry with Oscar #2.</font></b> </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana"><br> <font size="2"> <b>"I've always written music the way I felt it.  I write for the public because I feel like the public, the way they would write if they could.  You don't have to know anything about music to understand what I write.  Mine are simple melodies. In music there are certain chords that are tender and poignant – it's the universal language."  HARRY WARREN (December 24, 1893 - September 22, 1981)</b> <br> </font> </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana"> <b><font size="3">If you have would like to make a donation to this web site, please click the button below.
