Petrus de Domarto
Petrus de Domarto( fl. c. 1445– 1455) was a Franco- Flemish composer of the Renaissance.
He was a contemporary and probable acquaintance of Ockeghem, and was the composer of at least one of the first unified mass cycles to be written in continental Europe.
Bill (song)
"Bill" is a song heard in Act II of Kern and Hammerstein's classic 1927 musical "Show Boat".
The song was written by Kern and P.G. Wodehouse for their 1917 musical "Oh, Lady!
Lady!!
" for Vivienne Segal to perform, but withdrawn because it was considered too melancholy for that show.
However, when Kern and Hammerstein were at work on the serious and somewhat tragic "Show Boat", they decided that the song would be perfect for a nightclub scene in the show.
Hammerstein revised Wodehouse's original lyrics somewhat (though he would always give full credit to Wodehouse for the song and take none for himself), and the song was given to real-life nightclub singer Helen Morgan, who portrayed the mulatto Julie in "Show Boat", to sing.
The song is rendered only once in the show and is highly emotional, with the singer supposedly on the verge of tears.
It is sung in an audition scene in Act II.
At the Trocadero, a local Chicago night club, Julie LaVerne, the former leading lady of the show boat, is the featured singer.
Julie, who is of mixed blood, has been permanently abandoned by her white husband, Steve Baker, years after the two were forced to leave the show boat because of their interracial (and therefore illegal) marriage.
Despondent, Julie has taken to drink and is quickly becoming an alcoholic.
At the urging of Jim Green, the nightclub manager, Julie rehearses the song "Bill", which is a woman's confession of deep love for a less-than-perfect man named Bill, and it is clear that the emotion that Julie puts into the song comes from the fact that she is really thinking about her husband as she sings.
"Bill" became one of Helen Morgan's signature songs, and onstage she sang it in her trademark style sitting atop a piano.
Although the song is heard only once in "Show Boat" and never reprised, it became one of the musical's most famous.
On film, Helen Morgan sang "Bill" both in the prologue to the 1929 part-talkie film version of "Show Boat" and in the classic 1936 film version.
Lena Horne was filmed singing it for the Jerome Kern biopic "
Till the Clouds Roll By", but the scene was eventually cut, and
Ava Gardner, using the dubbed-in voice of Annette Warren, sang it in the 1951 Technicolor remake of "Show Boat".
Gardner's own voice can be heard on the soundtrack record.
Shirley Bassey recorded the song for the 1959 Studio Cast Album of "Show Boat".
The song was a regular part of Dorothy Lamour's repertoire.
Lamour frequently sang it on radio and in concert and recorded it in 1958.

Jerome Kern
Jerome David Kern (January 27, 1885 – November 11, 1945) was an American composer of musical theatre and popular music.
One of the most important American theatre composers of the early 20th century, he wrote more than 700 songs, used in over 100 stage works, including such classics as "Ol' Man RiverCan't Help
Lovin'
Dat ManA Fine RomanceSmoke Gets in Your EyesThe Song
Is YouAll the Things
You
AreThe Way
You Look TonightLong Ago (and Far Away)" and
"Who?".
He collaborated with many of the leading librettists and lyricists of his era, including George Grossmith Jr., Guy Bolton, P. G. Wodehouse, Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, Dorothy Fields, Johnny Mercer, Ira Gershwin and Yip Harburg.
A native New Yorker, Kern created dozens of Broadway musicals and Hollywood films in a career that lasted for more than four decades.
His musical innovations, such as 4/4 dance rhythms and the employment of syncopation and jazz progressions, built on, rather than rejected, earlier musical theatre tradition.
He and his collaborators also employed his melodies to further the action or develop characterization to a greater extent than in the other musicals of his day, creating the model for later musicals.
Although dozens of Kern's musicals and musical films were hits, only "Show Boat" is now regularly revived.
Songs from his other shows, however, are still frequently performed and adapted.
Many of Kern's songs have been adapted by jazz musicians to become standard tunes.
