Compact Discoveries Program 13
Live long enough and the popular music of your youth becomes the classical music of today. Witness the clever orchestral miniatures of Leroy Anderson, the once-popular American composer who is now listed in the classical music catalogs. This program takes a new look at and listen to "The Syncopated Clock," "Sleigh Ride," "The Typewriter Song" and other Anderson favorites, as well as his rarely-performed "Concerto in C for Piano & Orchestra."
