Marvin Hamlisch
Marvin Hamlisch was born in Manhattan, to Viennese-born Jewish parents Lilly (nee Schachter) and Max Hamlisch. His father was an accordionist and bandleader. Hamlisch was a child prodigy, and, by age five, he began mimicking the piano music he heard on the radio. A few months before he turned seven, in 1951, he was accepted into what is now the Juilliard School Pre-College Division. His first job was as a rehearsal pianist for Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand. Shortly afterward, he was hired by producer Sam Spiegel to play piano at Spiegel's parties. This connection led to his first film score, The Swimmer. His favorite musicals growing up were My Fair Lady, Gypsy, West Side Story, and Bye Bye Birdie.Hamlisch attended Queens College, earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1967Hamlisch was one of only twelve people to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. This collection of all four is referred to as an "EGOT". He is one of only two people (along with Richard Rodgers) to have won those four prizes and a Pulitzer Prize. Media Articles |

The final section of a larger work, this work opens with a solo voice and weaves a magical spell as the message of peace unfolds. Some fear the world, they hear the dissonance and say it always will be. I see the world as one community that must be joined by one law. Duration: c. 3:45.
From the musical, A Chorus Line, and most recently recorded by Barbra Streisand on her album Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, this poignant song is one that composer Marvin Hamlisch said set the tone for all the music in the show. The dancers explain their experiences with attending dance school and no matter how dark the rest of their world seems, they always feel happy at the ballet.
