Classical Music/Music used in American Airlines commercials

Expert: David Froom - 3/2/2007

Question
Hi David,
I'm wondering if you can help me by telling me the name of the piece of classical music used in the American Airlines commercials that ran about a year or more ago...they were not real actors but more cartoon like. I'm sorry, this may not be much to go on but would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Amy

Answer
Was it American? Or United? One of them used Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," which musically and name-wise fit the commercial's message. They didn't use the beginning bit -- but if you listen all the way through, you'll hear the part they used in the commercial.

Is that what you were looking for?
