Composer Hamlisch
Just Plays His Songs
SUSAN LUDMER-GLIEBE
Special to The Jewish News
W
hen composer Mar-
vin Hamlisch comes
to the Metro area to
give a pair of concerts — one
on Wednesday in Ann Arbor
and the other on Oct. 11 in
Detroit — it wouldn't surprise
him in the least if a few
members of the audience
come up to him and say, "I
remember you:'
Lots of people, of course,
have seen Hamlisch on PBS's
popular series of musical per-
formances at the White
House. And others recognize
Hamlisch as the young, dark-
haired composer who receiv-
ed three Oscars in one night
at the 1974 Academy Awards
ceremony.
But the audience members
that Hamlisch suspects might
greet him know him from
another time. "I was the
music counselor at an all-girl
Jewish camp," Hamlisch ex-
plains from his New York Ci-
ty residence. "It was called
Camp Geneva and it was a
wonderful job," says
Hamlisch. "When I give a
concert there's always so-
meone in the audience who
went there."
Probably no Camp Geneva
camper is surprised to see
Hamlisch elegantly sitting on
the stage amusing, entertain-
ing and delighting the ticket-
holders in the seats below. It
might be an exaggeration to
say that Hamlisch was born
44 years ago with a
metronome in his crib but,
from the beginning Hamlisch
has been a musical talent. He
was raised in a musical set-
ting — his father Max was a
conductor — and it wasn't
long before Hamlisch was at-
tending the Julliard School of
,
Music — at age 7. Even in
that precocious atmosphere
Hamlisch's abilities stood out.
Unlike many other Julliard
students who were looking to
take the more pristine and
classical route, Hamlisch
longed for the nitty gritty, the
rough and tumble, of the
Great White Way. A self-
confessed "Broadway Theater
Junkie" as he has called
himself, he missed no oppor-
tunity to see what the magic
of the American musical
could offer. As a young boy he
stood in line to buy tickets for
hits like Damn Yankee and
Pajama Game. He saw Gypsy
more than 20 times. That's a
lot of Have an Eggroll but
Hamlisch loved it, Ethel Mer-
man and all. Typically, one of
Hamlisch's first jobs was as a
rehearsal pianist for Funny
Girl.
Not long afterwards he was
writing tunes instead of play-
ing them and went west to
Hollywood in the process. The
first few years Hamlisch was
in La-La Land his output was
prolific and often memorable.
He composed the scores for a
number of movies including
early Woody Allen comedies
and Oscar winners, The Way
We Were and The Sting. The
latter movie, in which
Hamlisch adapted the music
of Scott Joplin to fit the con-
man caper which starred Paul
Newman and Robert Redford,
allowed the American public
to re-discover ragtime's
master composer.
Over the years Hamlisch
has composed for many
movies including Ordinary
People, Sophie's Choice, The
Prisoner of Second Ave, Three
Men and a Baby . . . and
there's more in the future.
"I'm working on two movie
projects," explains Hamlisch,
