Andrew Sisters Analysis

The Andrew sisters came together a year before World War Two began. The three sisters being; LaVerne Sophia, who is the contralto and the oldest, Maxine Angelyn, the middle sister and soprano, and the head of the group being Patricia Marie, the youngest sister and the mezzo-soprano. They were born in Minnesota and all three sisters gained a love for music at an early age. Some major influences for the sisters love of music came from the Boswell sisters, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Tornme. The type of music the sisters sang ranged from swing to country-western. They performed on the radio, at fairs, on commercials, in Hollywood movies and on Broadway.

The Andrews Sisters song “Three Little Sisters” is a trio written and sung by the Andrew Sisters

The song its self is very repetitive and tuneful. Also, since you can see the girls singing the song, visually, it gives us even more of the story and really shows us how much the sisters love singing. They do an excellent job of expressing the lyrics with little movements and dances, especially during Patty’s solo. Patty gives amazing expressions with her face and really tells the story. Making the music even more enjoyable to watch and listen too. They are very well blended and you can always tell what they are saying. Their looks perfectly match their singing style and story. Over the entire performance I loved every bit of it. The sisters really show their sisterly bond that brings the group and their music pieces perfectly together.

I personally love music from this time period because since America is at war and its a depressing time across the world, it pushes the music artists at this time to really sell happiness with their catchy songs and expressions. Music like this is what brought the U.S together in its time of need. We don 't see music like this today because everyone is so different. Instead of music bringing people together like it used too, music today shows more variety, which is okay, until its starts to separate people rather than bring them closer
