- Biography
- Ted Royal (1904-1981) was an arranger, conductor, and composer for Broadway musicals, radio programs, big bands and film. Royal arrived in New York City in the fall of 1935, after stints as a silent movie accompanist, and in vaudeville and radio. He soon found work as an arranger for band leaders such as Al Katz and Isham Jones, creating new orchestrations for popular songs, including Jones' I'll see you in my dreams (1936) and Swingin' down the lane (1936). Royal also had his own radio program, "The Pompeiian Hour." Later, he worked as an arranger for the bandleader Paul Whiteman and for the Radio City Music Hall from 1943-1949. Royal's first Broadway credit was for additional arrangements for Cole Porter's DuBarry Was a Lady (1939), which led to orchestration assignments on other Cole Porter shows, such as Let's Face It (1941), Something for the Boys (1943), Mexican Hayride (1944) and Seven Lively Arts (1944). Other notable musicals for which Royal supplied the orchestrations include Leonard Bernstein's On the Town (1944), Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun (1946), Harold Arlen's House of Flowers (1954), Frank Loesser's Where's Charley? (1948) and Guys and Dolls (1950), and Lerner and Loewe's Brigadoon (1947) and Paint Your Wagon (1951). Royal studied with Joseph Schillinger from 1939-1943 and taught a course at Juilliard in Commercial Arranging from 1945-1947. He also wrote unproduced musicals, songs, and other compositions, including the music for the documentary, When Comedy Was King (1960).
