1939 song by Ira and George Gershwing

The 1939 New York World's Fair song "Dawn of a New Day" was written by George and Ira Gershwin. It just another example of how World's Fairs attract the best minds of its time.

The Gershwing brothers created a "futuruistic" song, with unconventional orchestration and instruments.

Listen to the song at the Paleo-Future blog.
