Leroy Anderson Collection

Leroy Anderson is probably familiar to anyone who likes easy listening or light classical music. Or they're probably familiar with his big pop hits or familiar tunes like, 'The Syncopated Clock', 'The Typewriter', 'Blue Tango', or possibly his biggest hit, the Christmas perennial, 'Sleigh Ride'. I defy you not to think of fifties television when you hear 'The Syncopated Clock' or pull a Jerry Lewis routine and start typing when you hear 'The Typewriter'.

Also, for fans of musicals, you get the rare treat of hearing instrumental versions of the music he composed for the stage musical, 'Goldilocks'.

The collection winds down with some familiar Irish (or possibly just Irish-American) folk tunes.

It's some of the happiest, spriteliest, most melodic, and rousing music I've ever heard.

I love this (1988 2-CD) collection and here's hoping you do too!
