Which state was the composer, who wrote the music and lyrics to "Around the World," born?
Cole Porter Cole Albert Porter (June 9, 1891 – October 15, 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family in Indiana, he defied the wishes of his domineering grandfather and took up music as a profession. Classically trained, he was drawn towards musical theatre. After a slow start, he began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote the lyrics, as well as the music, for his songs.
Guy E. Holmes Guy E. Holmes (February 14, 1873 – February 10, 1945) was an American musician and composer. He was born in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and contributed much to the circus band repertoire. He spent 20 years on the faculty of VanderCook College of Music, and wrote over 200 marches and overtures, among other works.
