Knickerbocker Holiday is a 1938 musical written by Kurt Weill (music) and Maxwell Anderson (book and lyrics); based loosely on Washington Irving's Knickerbocker's History of New York about life in 17th-century New Netherland (old New York). The musical numbers include "September Song", now considered a pop standard.
