Irwin Kostal
Irwin Kostal (October 1, 1911 – November 23, 1994) was an American musical arranger of films and an orchestrator of Broadway musicals.
Biography
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Kostal opted not to attend college, instead teaching himself musical arranging by studying the symphonic scores available at his local library. His first professional job was as a staff arranger for Design for Listening, an NBC radio show based in his hometown. Irwin was one of four children born to James and Emma Kostal. His siblings James, Jerome and Violet all remained in the Chicago area.
After moving to New York City, Kostal was hired for Sid Caesar's popular variety series Your Show of Shows, and followed this with a stint at The Garry Moore Show. In the latter part of the decade he began working on Broadway, orchestrating for Shinbone Alley, The Music Man, Fiorello!, and West Side Story. His work on the latter resulted in his being hired to score the 1961 screen adaptation with Saul Chaplin, Johnny Green, and Sid Ramin. The quartet won both an Oscar and a Grammy Award for their contributions. Kostal later went on to collaborate with Saul Chaplin for the 1965 film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music and won an Oscar for Best Music Scoring.

YO POR EL
by: Iran CastilloALTO COMO ES
CON LOS LABIOS ENCENDIDOS
CADA DIA DOY CON EL EN LA
ESCALERA.
Y ME TENGO QUE AGUANTAR
CON LA GANAS QUE LE TENGO
PARA NO SOLTARLE AL CUELLO
QUE PELIGRO.
HAY AMORES CAPRICHOSOS
HAY AMORES CLANDESTINOS
Y HAY AMORES IMPOSIBLES
COMO EL MIO.
SE QUE NO ME VE
NI SIQUIERA SE DA CUENTA
DE QUE SOY UNA MUJER Y LE
DESEA.
ME GUSTA IMAGINAR
QUE LE TRAIGO DE CABEZA
MIENTRAS LLENO CON SU NOMBRE
LAS LIBRETAS
HAY AMORES A LA CARTA
HAY AMORES A CUCHILLO
Y HAY AMORES A LAS BRAZAS
COMO EL MIO
YO POR EL
CAMBIARIA EL RUMBO
HABITUAL CON QUE GIRA
EL MUNDO
YO POR EL...
CAMBIARIA DE GUASTOS
DE GESTOS, DE SEXO
Y DE RELIGION.
YO POR EL... ME ACOSTUMBRARIA
A PERDER, JURO QUE LO HARIA.
YO POR EL...
CAMBIARIA DE NOMBRE,
DE ROPA, DE AMIGOS,
DORMIRIA A SUS PIES.
Y LE SEGUIRIA POR LA SOMBRA
NOCHE Y DIA
ENCANTADA DE TENER
LO QUE ELLA TIRA.
NUNCA PEDIRIA NADA
TODOS LO SABRIAN
SOLO EL Y YO,
YA BASTA NO HAY MENTIRAS
HAY AMORES QUE TE MATAN,
HAY AMORES QUE TE SALVAN,
Y HAY AMORES QUE TE ARRANCAN
EL SENTIDO.
YO POR EL...
CAMBIARIA EL RUMBO
HABITUAL CON QUE GIRA
EL MUNDO...
YO POR EL...
ME ACOSTUMBRARIA...
