Rhapsody in Blue: An Urban Journal Insights into City Life

In music, a rhapsody means a composition of a collection of ideas and motifs, irregular in its form but epic in its essence. Geroge Gershwin wrote "Rhapsody in Blue" in 1924. Gershwin assembled the rumbling of a train and the blues of a street performer to create a sonic masterpiece of what he described as America's 'metropolitan madness.'
