The Best of Leroy Anderson

From the dean of American light music, this through-played medley is scored to be accessible for young and developing bands. It includes “Plink! Plank! Plunk!,” “The Syncopated Clock,” “Forgotten Dreams,” “Blue Tango,” “A Trumpeter’s Lullaby,” and “Fiddle-Faddle.” With ample shifting of melodic responsibility that permits adequate rests for all, Leroy Anderson’s unique style remains as young and fresh as the very day on which it was composed.
